"A life based on only necessity is good, but can lead to a malnourished soul- or so they claim, but I don't really believe in souls as much as others do." Flutter mulled over the thought for a moment before pushing the phrase aside. "Knowledge that may seem like it isn't necessary can prove quite useful in ways one wouldn't expect, you know. For example, knowing a plant is poisonous is good, but if you only know that, you won't know it can still be useful." She pointed at one particular plant, smiling. "This is good for making medicine and rope, but if you touch it with your bare skin in the wild, it will rupture your skin and cause severe problems, ultimately leading to death within under a day. However, knowing both things can be quite useful."
She took a seat on a nearby stool, lifting her legs a bit to relax them before placing her feet back on the floor. She smiled lightly, adding, "Each person- and I use the word quite loosely, as it logically can describe those besides humans as well, such as yourself- has their own set of skills, necessities, and weaknesses. Having different types of knowledge is also in that area of things that vary from one to another...However, it's because of all those things that each is an individual. As well, you must have much knowledge to make up for a weakness you have. After all, if you are allergic to wheat and don't know what it's used in, you'll have an allergic reaction eating things with it because you're unaware, right? But normally, people don't think of that as a necessity unless they're cooking."
