“Left with people I didn’t know, I was scared.”

Knowledge, power, and control: Even Stephen Hawking wrestled.

Are there really certain things that you just ‘know’ you can control?


Hi, everyone-

Knowledge is a strange thing.

Feeling like you know something gives a certain sense of power. And with power—control. Its antithesis: the unknown, tend to give the equally real sense of powerlessness. And with powerlessness, comes lack of control.

So, like Hawking, would you be scared if this happens to you and you have no physical power to change it?
