March 2024 - Ignorance

We are all ignorant in one area or another.

What is ignorance? Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, understanding, or awareness in a particular area. So, ignorance does not mean being unintelligent it simply means being unaware.

And the more ignorant we are, the higher the likelihood we operate in dishonor because of our own unawareness of what is before us. So, being ignorant can cause pain.

Being uninformed or being misinformed are two types of ignorance. When we are uninformed, we know we are ignorant, but when we are misinformed, we are ignorant about what we're misinformed about.

This is also why ignorance is expensive. Because, as Dr. Daniels puts it, "Whatever area we are ignorant in, we suffer in."

So, how do we step out of ignorance? By discovering the information, or the correct information, that we have not yet been exposed to.

Again, we are all ignorant in one area or another, which is why we must learn to operate in curiosity rather than assumption. We must be okay acknowledging the areas in which we need to grow.

And we must be willing to learn something new or to learn a new thing about an old thing. Because while many people say, "Ignorance is bliss," the truth is that many people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.

So, while many people have suffered at the hands of ignorance, this will help us so that the areas we were once ignorant in, we no longer suffer in!
