Knowledge is power

I feel that in Liz's blog she equated knowledge with evil and the lack of knowledge with a sort of strength that comes from such naivity. I myself have to disagree with this assessment, I found that in obtaining the knowledge of being man when Enkindu laid with the harlot not only made him greater but also let him know true life, rather than wallow away in primitive instinct. Is the fact that Enkindu did not do the task assigned to him by the Gods inherently evil? Or would not be living to his fullest potential as a man be the truer evil? It is a moral opinion but I find the latter much more offensive. Before Enkindu had gained his knowledge of humanity he was merely a tool, the shell of a man that perhaps had the physical gifts to be great but didn't have the mental capacity to ever achieve greatness. Though Enkidu's body became weak as Liz said, his mind strengthened and he began to live the life a man is meant to live. I believe the authors were complete and full supporters of knowledge as the were so proud of the achievements of their ancestors whom had built Uruk using such a depth of knowledge. The fact also remains that in the beginning Gilgamesh was portrayed as a jerk, for lack of a better word, but was praised as wise and great in the preface because it was written after he had obtained such a moral knowledge and appreciation for the world around him. Yes, Enkindu may have lost his innocence when he slept with the harlot but that does not necassarily mean he became guilty or evil. And Gilgamesh never had innocence until he gained his knowledge through the death of Enkindu (in my opinion) as he finally became the leader he was meant to be and gave up his selfish ways.
