very great.....higher knowledge leads to wisdom (and therefore, peace...) and wisdom is the one driving force working above all appearances and logics....*If a person who knows a lot sees someone doing it differently, he doesn't argue, because he knows that what he knows is not the only possible way, the other one can be right too...* this person is exactly proving his wisdom, he didn't stop at appearances but he went behind it, due to his high knowledge....* In fact, knowledge is the foundation of wisdom

Knowledge is the key of Wisdom, and Wisdom is the key of peace...
