The Confined Personality (Part 5)
Ignorance
The dictionary defines it to be the condition of being uninformed or uneducated. Lack of knowledge or information. And even gave its synonyms to be the state of blindness.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. Those were the words of Martin Luther King Jr.
The history of humanity is loaded with certain weapons that have the capacity to make or mar humans. Some of which we are seeing their evidences today. Among these powerful ancient weapons that have made landmark and still making it on the lives of men is what I tagged "ignorance".
No doubt, all the appearances of men at first on the planet called earth would be tagged the appearances of clean minds; having no knowledge of what is obtainable in their new world. But as they begin to grow up and interact with the societal institutions, it is important that knowledge is acquired.
Refusal of a man to embrace knowledge whether the one he is aware of or not mean that he is set to live in ignorance and undeniably wheeling his life towards obscurity.
It's a fact—everyone is ignorant in some way or another. Ignorance is our deepest secret. And it is one of the scariest things out there, because those of us who are most ignorant are also the ones who often don't know it or don't want to admit it. Here is a quick test: If you have never changed your mind about some fundamental tenet of your belief, if you have never questioned the basics, and if you have no wish to do so, then you are likely ignorant. Before it is too late, go out there and find someone who, in your opinion, believes, assumes, or considers certain things very strongly and very differently from you, and just have a basic honest conversation.
(An extract from Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration).
It is expedient that you realize this that ignorance is never a blessing to you but a cage for your entirety if not well handled.
Amazingly, ignorance can be in a willing or unwilling manner. Willing manner connotes the availability of needed knowledge for your emancipation but you put up refusal to embrace it.
The Playstation called ignorance seem to be enjoyable in the sight of the ignorant man but without cajole, get this, ignorance is costly and extremely dangerous.
When ignorance captures and engross a personality, if that person make no active attempt to escape its cage, he may be doomed till death.
Whenever ignorance tries to imprison you;
It makes you neglect the necessary things you should have done.
Ignorance is free giver of misplaced priority.
Ignorance blocks visions
Ignorance is a disease
Ignorance make assumptions your own reality
Ignorance is a licenser of errors
Ignorance steals a man's preparations
Ignorance apparently inflict rejection
Pin this, what is the state of a man full of errors, no vision, misplaced priority, and so on? The handicapped/imprisoned state of course
Ignorance will never authorized the refining of your potentials not to even allow it to manifest.
Whenever a man has been trapped, the sure deliverer is knowledge.
Enough is enough of your limitation and confinement because of ignorance and other factors that do imprison persons.
Break that cage now and escape for the best of your own potentials.
