Today has been one of those frustrating days for the non techno that I am. Delete buttons should be renamed death of creativity buttons due to my ignorance of their function I lost quite a few hours worth of work. There is something truly fragile about ignorance. I wonder quite literally how many people have died from it. Ironically we whether we believe it or not live most of our lives in ignorance about one thing or another.
To live a full and happy life dancing around ignorance is a truly brave act. Realistically speaking we don't have any choice unless we stand totally still stop breathing close our eyes plug our ears and every other orfice we have, at one point or another ignorance will kill us all. And the funny thing about it is we will be totally ignorant to the fact.
Learning therefore is the vehicle we use to keep ourselves just a few moments ahead of that monster. Some people have a natural survival instinct and have a genuine thirst for knowledge the double edged sword that can either kill or cure us. Another irony is that the more we are aware of our ignorance the more enlightened we become to the fact that it is an incurable disease.
Personally I try to meditate as often as possible in an attempt to gain that inner stillness where thoughts like these are left to blow by like so many leaves in the wind. But the wind carries on it the questions of the mind and sooner or later these questions like the leaves are held fast in some crevice no longer able to escape as our mind focuses on them and dissects and analyzes them like the frogs we all cut up in biology class. Did we ever learn anything from those frogs other than their fundamental parts and how they functioned on some elementary level? Maybe that is mankind's worst enemy we never actually understand the fact that there really is no getting to the bottom of anything without getting into something else. My advice just be.
Till next time...
