When it comes to mankind there is but one issue that always returns to memory... It is the simple, easily ignored issue of ignorance. It is rather interesting to see such a simple issue pass the eyes of many human beings. It is something that has yet to reach the moment of it's revelation to the world. How is it that I can see this epidemic occurring in young people so often? If it is not already evident, i am not on an extremely high plane of intelligence. It is not challenging for anyone to have a conversation with me, it is only that it would require at least some sort of thought. This sort of thought is something that others would much rather avoid than simply utilize . This is questionable. Are there truly this many people who, out of fear, refuse to open their minds to fear, anxiety, and possible threats to their personal character?
The issue that comes to mind first brings us to a simple moment in history. Because the reader may not already be aware of this particular historical event, i will attempt to explain in the most objective manner possible. While i do not have a particular time period in mind, i will touch upon olde England and it's foundations. Ignorance was a common protective measure used by the English in order to 'protect' the people, in a sense. It was only church officials who would be given the honor of reading and writing. This, already, is preposterous. To give the power of knowledge and vision only to church official was, in my opinion, a fool's plan. Why, is it, that people who are given the ability to read and write, to-day, choose to avoid the ease and comfort which eventually comes from a search for knowledge or wisdom? It is not simply about reading when it comes to wisdom, it is simply a matter of acquiring, as you say, 'common sense'.
In this particular case, i do not have a supposed 'theory' behind the recurrent issue of ignorance and i do not have a solution to this large issue. I simply found it appropriate to mention it as an issue which may require more attention. It is obvious that it could be used as protective barrier used to ward off bad occurrences, but what gives birth to this common phenomena? In olde Britain, it was simply used as a method to gain power over an entire populace. If only one man, per se, is given the knowledge to read, he is the only one who can choose what to teach all of the people. I ask you this: What is your personal opinion of the cause of ignorance in all of humankind? Is it currently being used as a method to control? Or is is simple a protective bubble used to avoid the problems we all face? What is the solution? Please, do comment and share with me your personal opinion in it's complete truth.
Perhaps in some time, i will write on this topic again, in greater detail.
