Diving into the Wreck

I really enjoyed "Diving into the Wreck," especially since to me the treasure is knowledge. This goes back sort of to my reoccurring theme about discovering the truths of literature and that it really is to each their own, that everyone finds within it, their own treasure, kind of like diving into the wreck. The treasure is knowledge, gaining new information or insight. I make it my goal to learn at least one new thing a day, and I take a well rounded education seriously, I believe the more you know the more value you hold, this goes without saying you can't have the social skills of a fascist dictator, but certainly if you are a well rounded individual, knowledge is going to take up some percent of this well roundness. When you achieve knowledge, you achieve power, the ability to know. It is in itself a key that can unlock everything, you can use knowledge for prediction, to solve problems, or to even help as a defense. Knowledge, is what helps us evolve as a species, and to someone who is knowledgeable, or even those who are not, had they read this, if the decipher it will gain knowledge, it is also symbolic however for those who can't decipher it, to them, things are not as clear, it goes right back to seeing instead of looking. For these reasons, with it's beautiful dreamlike imagery, when finding the knowledge, it makes it that much more magical.
