"The problem with leaping into the rabbithole is it isolates you in a wormhole of confusion, from forward movement, until your curiosity has been satisfied. The more you remain in the rabbithole, many things can happen. You can become smarter, wiser, more foolish, annoyingly bias, or unbearably insane. Regardless, of what it makes you, undoubtedly, you will unknowingly develop a cynical sense of government, society, religion, and your country. This is because the rabbithole by nature is political and is somewhat the unclassified realm of politics, where you can find documents, video, and evidence of the most heinous truths and crimes of the world. All this cynicism is warranted, sometimes valid, but the real truth is, valuable only in service of the country. The cynicism of knowledge can consume and deteriorate the person, if left for too long or unchecked. The cynicism of Knowledge is useless, unless used for correction, and the betterment of your fellow community. As I exit the rabbithole, I exclaim that nothing is more important than service to your countrymen, forward movement, and the espousing of the importance of character. This is the final chapter of the rabbithole, and the last step in your reformation, if you are to make it out alive. For do not doubt, or be so unlucky to misunderstand, that the rabbithole consumes most who enter, never to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thus, armed with the knowledge that all injustice will not be corrected, and that all the enemies of decency may continue to win and never be vanquished. The lucky few, like Alice, or the allegory of the cave, finding that service of the fellowman is far greater than the simple judgement from the sideline, and that forward movement and the espousing of greater character, not to be confused with ideals and idealism demagoguery, but character, integrity, love, family, discipline for duty, not discipline for discipline's sake, manifest destiny, goals, and longsuffering is the light, the ultimate truth at which the tunnel and the real reality for which the rabbithole ends."
