Ignorance

They say ignorance is bliss. But really, it is not. It is lonely. Because when you are ignorant to what is going on out there, you are essentially sitting on your couch watching TV while the whole world passes you by. You don't go anywhere you don't do anything because you don't know what is out there.

Ignorance is a handicap when it comes to life. When it gets down to it, you don't know how to react to things or how to say thank you and mean it. You can't share a life with someone when you are ignorant. You don't know how to share.

Ignorance is not a good thing. It just makes what you look like on the inside, become outside. And that is so ugly, no one wants to see it. You become detached from the world and start to not care about anything. Ignorance is like a wart that keeps getting bigger, and more unsightly.

Hiding behind your ignorance only makes people dislike you. Because if you really cared, people would too. About you. About where you are and what you are doing. You can't believe that being ignorant to things makes the rest of your life easier. It just makes it more complicated getting through the muck and the mire of ignorance.
It just makes a mess.

Just say you don't care. Just say you don't want to know. Don't play the ignorance card like some play the race card. You can't get out of it by playing it. It shows on your face. And no one feels sorry for someone who plays the card when it is so obvious that it IS your fault. Or maybe not fault but that you meant what you said. Ignorance doesn't cover mean words or un-rings the bell. It is out there. Ignorance only makes you look worse.
