Things that make you go hmmm

Ignorance- is a state of being uninformed

Ignorance is bliss…?

Bliss- is a state of profound satisfaction, happiness and joy, a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss.

No, to me ignorance is as dangerous as a long-term bully on the bullied child. How could a "state of being uniformed" really be considered blissful?

Let's look at that for a minute.

I suppose the argument goes that what you don't know can't hurt you. Well, that is just not true. A plane crash can still kill you if you are on it, weather or not you know that a plane can crash.

The older we get as humanity, the more we learn. I can see that children may be considered ignorant because they are not yet aware that there are people out there that will hurt them, whole countries that will fight major wars over unproven ideas, their days are made up of playing, eating, sleeping, school, and they KNOW that their parents will always be there for them… as they should be.

As we get older, we are supposed to gain knowledge. Some people believe that all the knowledge that they need can come from a textbook, others believe that all the smarts you need in life are "street smarts". I like to think that without practical use of any knowledge obtained, it may as well be considered useless. Think of these people that are in school for years on end, come out thinking they know all the answers in that specific field, only to learn a new and necessary lesson…. They don't know everything!

SMACK!!

        • It hits you when you least expect it…
  • It gives you this innate sense of motion sickness…
  • All of a sudden you find that you are going to either scream or cry…
            • Try to run and hide, you can't escape…
  • Even other activities won't distract your mind long enough to relax at all…

~~REALITY~~

Ever notice how right when you feel like you are in control, master of your own universe, controller of your own destiny, that is right when everything is totally out of your control?

 
But, then there are people out there that are like a life-support system.
       They remind you that this is just a little hiccup during a swallow, a small little raincloud to pooh-bear… they remind you that life will be better, you are doing a good job and you can handle this. Its those people (you know who you are), that make it so that while I am facing these times that feel so bad and well up so high in my throat that I feel I am going to suffocate, you bring me back down from that and make it so that I can smile and face the day head on.

 

 THANK YOU!
