Good & Evil

"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance"
- Socrates

Do I agree with this?
Certainly not.

Perhaps I would, if I knew what deep thought lead Socrates say it.
May be, he thought that, knowing what is good and what is evil, will refrain people from doing evil deeds. 

Although, I am amused, when people do things, fully knowing its impact. It makes me think, they get evil pleasures in their deeds. Perhaps the new rule of the game is "Who wins" rather than "Who does it right". Or may be this is the rule all along and I wasn't aware of it.

Am I in a different world than that living by people who agree with Socrates?
