Blissful Ignorance
The words that came to me, did so from a posted meme at the end of this writing. Your choice, either pause to click on the image and read, or just ignore this. Nothing explored, nothing gained.
The words that came to me, did so from a posted meme at the end of this writing. I understand the person’s viewpoint, but in an infinite world of misguided souls, we should mindfully contribute when and to whom we can, and not just ignore the sufferings of others.
First, a definition:
"Ignorance comes from Latin ignōrāntia meaning "want of knowledge". This Latin word is derived from ignōrāre, which means "not to know" or "to ignore". The English word "ignore" also stems from this same Latin root, highlighting the connection between the lack of knowledge and the act of disregarding something.
I begin my thoughts below with the words of, Jiddu Krishnamurti.
So, is the creator, or the purveyors of this “authoritative” meme of wisdom (see below), also the determiner of intellect? More so, this perspective leans towards judgment, cold calculation, or egotism to anyone looking beyond the degree in front of them. Maybe a review of Harvard's multiple-intelligence studies is in order for the mastermind behind this cold-hearted perspective.
If we all just pass by, "minding" our own business, ignoring our or other's plights, societies' crumbling foundations, and wars and rumors of wars, we'll be all right. Yes, that's the ticket. To hell with the masses, the downtrodden, with me, or you.
Intellect has less to do with ones ability to calculate, jump through hoops, push buttons for treats, acquire degrees, or tout labels, than it does with connecting and waltzing with the omni-dimensional, multi-verse in which we exist. So, you think the gray mass neuro-net between your ears is all telling of one's story? If so, it's time to investigate beyond man's arrogance to the vast neuro-net that expands beyond the mere parameters of humanized conceptual physics, and beyond egoic self-righteousness and lunacy.
But, if this little comfort zone is where one wants to stop, so be it. I'll just ignore the willful ignorance, leave no seeds of potentiality, and enjoy the awe-inspiring human intellect unfolding in the news. ~ Mark (I Am - Wisdom)
