Knowledge that is not used is abused.

Summary

This quote signifies the importance of actively applying knowledge rather than passively possessing it. It suggests that if knowledge remains unused or untapped, it becomes meaningless and wasted. The understanding one gains should be put into practice, shared with others, or utilized to solve problems and bring about positive change. Failing to do so can be seen as a disservice to oneself and society, implying that knowledge's true value lies in its practical application and contribution to personal growth and progress.
