Ignorance

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn to do things the right way.

––– Benjamin Franklin

The illusion of knowledge is not education, but ignorance. Foolish people have a strange kind of confidence which comes only with ignorance.

There's nothing wrong with ignorance, but making a career out of it is stupidity. Some people accumulate ignorance and then confuse it with education. Ignorance is not bliss. It is misery, tragedy, poverty and sickness. If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy? If a little knowledge is dangerous, so is a lot of ignorance, which leads to pettiness, fear, dogmatism, egotism and prejudice. Wisdom is nothing more than dispelling ignorance.

We live in an information age. It is estimated that the amount of information is doubling every year. With information so readily available, it is easy to dispel ignorance. It is sad to see that we are taught everything but the most essential things. We are taught the three Rs (reading, riting, rithmetic), but what good is intellectual education without understanding human dignity and compassion?

Schools are a fountain of knowledge : some students come to drink, some to sip and others just to gargle.
