Bliss of Ignorance

"Awareness of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom" Socrates

Ignorance is a lack of knowledge or understanding, not intelligence. Deliberate ignorance is a culturally-induced phenomenon, the study of which is called agnotology.

Ignorance can come from an innate lack of awareness or data and information, a lack of education, or an inability to grasp facts, or line of logic.

Researchers hypothesize that one reason for willful ignorance might be that some behave altruistically because they want to maintain a positive self-image of being in an altruistic world. In those cases, willful ignorance can allow such to maintain that self-image without having to act in an altruistic way.

Ignorance can arise from a lack of exposure, confusion, or even from deluded thinking, truly ignorant individuals exhibit a lack of introspection and stubbornly cling to their perceptions, regardless of how irrational they may be, they tend to demonstrate unwavering self-assurance and often oblivious inadequacies.

Ignorance is compared to darkness that is removed only when light is shed. In actuality by the light of awareness of truth and not by any other means...

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance” Confucius
