Knowledge in itself is a very generic term that is interpreted differently by humans throughout the world. Some people say that knowledge is based on various facts and opinions, some say that it is a talent acquired through experience, and some even say that knowledge comes to us through our intellect and powers of reason. Sir Francis Bacon aptly observed, “Knowledge is power”, and through my personal experience, I have come to believe that this phrase is true.
I was born and raised in a remote village on the eastern side of Kenya, and I was exposed to only the basic technology of radio growing up. My grandmother was the breadwinner; she worked as a casual at an industrial plant that manufactured roofing sheets. One day she fell sick and, as usual, took her medicinal concoction of herbs, hoping to get better and resume her job at the industrial site. Weeks passed, but she did not get better. For some reason, I believed that she would recover and our lives would go back to normal. Unfortunately, this did not happen; she passed away. Losing my grandmother is still one of the darkest chapters of my life to date. People in the village were saddened and shocked about this news, and some elite members of the village fundraised for a post-mortem to be conducted on her body to determine the cause of death. The post-mortem results revealed that my grandmother died from a condition known as asbestosis, which is a lung disease resulting from the inhalation of asbestos particles. Many people in the village worked for this plant, and all of them were shocked to learn that the asbestos they so much interacted with at the plant could harm their health. The elites used the results of the post-mortem to launch a social media campaign that caught the attention of the Kenyan government and led to the immediate closure of the plant and the issuance of a ban against the use of asbestos in roofing. Thanks to social media technology, many deaths were averted.
This tragic incident that happened to my grandmother, and how the community, armed with knowledge, managed to take measures to prevent it from happening to other people, made me understand how much power knowledge has. Knowledge is the greatest and most powerful tool in a person’s arsenal, and in the right hands, it can solve many problems. It’s amazing to look back and see how far our world has come in terms of knowledge. If the 18th-century generation were brought back to the modern world, they would be shocked to see how much is now available to our understanding and what a vast body of knowledge we now possess. And I am sure that the situation will be the same in a hundred years because the world is continuously developing. My only concern is that our knowledge does not start playing against us and that people do not start destroying the world in their pursuit of knowledge.
