Knowledge Vs, Ignorance

Knowledge Vs. Ignorance
 
In The Aftermath, Of My Previous & Oftentimes Cataclysmic Mishaps,
I’ve Come To The Following Conclusions…
 
True Bliss Cannot Be Found In Ignorance, Nor Attained, Through The Bittersweet Oblivion Of Narcotic Anesthesia.
For Ignorance, In All Of Its Manifestations & By Its Nefarious Nature, Is The Nemesis Of Common Sense,
While Common Sense, Is The Keystone Without Which The Intelligent, Would Surely Collapse Into Senselessness.
In The Absence Of Intelligence, Only The Ignorant Proclaim Their Ignorance,
By Foolishly Using It To Excuse Their Own Ignorant Action (or) In My Case (Past-Tense)
Inaction, In An Effort To Avoid Accountability.
But Being and/or Remaining Ignorant, Especially When Knowledge Is Obtainable, Isn’t A Viable Excuse,
Its A Choice & As Such, It Involves The Requirement To Think…Even If Ineffectually.
 
One Of The Most Basic Choices Anybody Can Make,
Is To Think Rationally, Irrationally (or) To Allow Others To Do Your Thinking For You.
But By Refusing To Think For One’s Self (or) Doing So Irrationally, One Exposes & Broadcasts Their Ignorance,
Which Increases The Chances Of Their Being Exploited & Controlled Like A Helpless Marionette.
 
One Can Either Choose To Embrace Their Independence,
By Forsaking & Exchanging Their Ignorance For Knowledge,
Thus Becoming The Master Not The Slave.
(or)
One Can Choose To Embrace Their Subjugation & Bondage,
By Doing The Reverse & In Doing So, Become Just Another Obedient, Submissive Servant,
Who’s Entire Existence Is Dominated & Every Single Move In It Dictated,
By Any/All Puppet Masters Who Possess More Knowledge Their Own Ignorance Selves.
By Choosing Ignorance Over Knowledge,
One Is Also Choosing To Propagate, Provoke & Ensure Their Own Intellectual Stagnation & Decay,
While Sacrificing Their Potential On The Altar Of Monotonous Mediocrity.
 
This Type Of Thinking Is Irrational & Requires Minimal Desire, Motivation or Ambition
For A Positive Change and/or Upward Advancement.
But What It Does Do,
Through A Warped & Twisted Sense Of Perception,
Is Afford One The Ability To Create & Maintain An Illusion Of Knowledge, Wisdom & Success,
Even When Face To Face With Their Own Repetitive Failures & Eye To Eye With Their Own Undeniable Ignorance.
 
Rational Thinking (On the Other Hand)
Involves Much More Than Just Simple (or) In Some Cases
(Not So Simple)
Rationality.
 
It Virtually Demands A Complex Combination Of Decisiveness; So One Can Make Necessary Decisions,
Integrity; So One Can Follow Through With Any/All Choices Made,
Moral-Courage & Inner-Strength; So One Can Admit Any Wrongs & Suffer All Consequences To Make Them Right
(Without Suffering The Indignity Of Surrender (or) Defeat)
But Perhaps The Most Important Virtue Of All,
Is Humble Wisdom; So One Can Learn From Their Mistakes &
Thus Decrease The Likelihood Of Making The Same Erroneous Choices,
Which Lead To The Same Detrimental Actions, Out Of Ignorance (or) Irrational Reasoning.
 
In Summary…
The Wise Are Disciples Of Knowledge, Who’s Only Desire Is To Understand Themselves & The World They Live In,
So That They, In Turn, Can Help Others Do The Same.
The Ignorant, On The Other Hand, Are Acolytes Of Self-Deception & Avatars Of Insignificance,
Who Desire Nothing, But To Wallow In The Mire Of Their Own Vast & Incomprehensible Excuses,
While Corrupting Themselves By Infecting Their Minds With Thoughts & Ideals That Defy All Logical Reasoning.
But Whatever Defies Reason; Defies Reality, Whoever Defies Reality; Defies Life & All Those Who Defy Life; Are Essentially Choosing To Forsake & Exchange The God-Given Gift Of Life,
For The Hell-Spawned Curse Of A Perpetual Dying Death Wish.
