Day 127 of wisdom
“Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is brutal. The brutality of ignorance is such that it will make you dead while alive.”
Jaggi Vasudev
Ignorance is the lack of knowledge, or information. It is a recipe for unprecedented disaster, and destruction. Sometimes, the most ignorant people are the most confident people, they are so confident in their stupidity, and go about sharing their ignorance, with all eagerness; this is the reason for so much ignorance in the world.
Ignorance is so deadly that the ignorant one never sees a reason to learn, understand, or be properly informed. As Charles Darwin opined, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved.”
Growth is inhibited in an ignorant mind, because it is always afraid of change, and does not know what the alternatives are, it does not know what really is, neither does it know what could be. One who is ignorant is dead but thinks he lives; he thinks he knows but knows nothing at all, and does not make any effort to know.
One who will be free from the bondage, and danger of ignorance must make deliberate, and determined effort to learn, be informed, and acquire adequate knowledge. As Napoleon Bonaparte said, "the only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance." Victory over ones foes could not be so sweet and enjoyed, but victory over ignorance is liberation and true freedom.
