I'm sure you've heard the statement, "What you don't know won't hurt you," or "Ignorance is bliss." Reflecting... that kind of thinking is absolutely absurd! Truth be told, it's what you don't know that does hurt you the most! Everything your ignorant about is exactly what keeps you from becoming the person who uses the ability God gifted to you.
Life is a journey of learning experiences, your mind is programmed to allow you to respond by the input you've fed it. If you touch a hot stove, your mind is programmed to tell you, "DON'T do that again!" How did you learn that? Through a learning experience, or you watched someone else go through that pain and learned through their experience, in this case, the preferred method.
How many people, ignorant of proper financial counseling or knowledge, have put themselves in dutch with the misuse of credit? How many marriages are in jeopardy because of a lack of understanding what their partner requires out of a relationship? How many families are disconnected from a lack of understanding? The list of problems that faces society is endless, and they can all be solved with a little knowledge.
Drink deeply my friends, of good books. They are the antidote for ignorance. Your best learning begins right after you think you know it all. Why struggle with the answers to life's journey, when the experience of others is readily available to you? Winston Churchill said, "Never, never....never ever give up." I believe he was speaking of learning........
God Bless!
