"If I'm a bad person, you don't like me.
Well, I guess I'll make my own way.
It's a circle, a mean cycle.
I can't excite you anymore.
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?"
--Paramore "Ignorance"
Dear Diary,
Ignorance. One word. One word defining one of the worst qualities someone can have. Many say that "Ignorance is bliss", but that's not true. When I became sick, I realized how truly ignorant people are. People don't know so they assume, hate, and disrespect. It's funny that there is so much knowledge out there. There is so many ways a person can learn. It literally only takes 5 minutes to look something up on the internet.
Yet, people choose to stay ignorant.
I'm so frustrated, diary. I am so frustrated that people choose to live a blanketed life. They don't want to learn or take the time to seek out knowledge. They are happy living candy-coated lives. They are happy to judge others simply because they don't really want to understand what another person is going through.
It is so annoying, diary.
I deal with people like this quite frequently. They find out I'm sick with illnesses that are not well known, and they assume. They don't take the time to ask me to explain things to them because they don't care. They get an idea in their mind and run with it, whether it is right or wrong.
They choose to stay ignorant about it because they don't want to know.
They don't want to learn.
Winston Churchill once said "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. Ignorance may deride it, but, in the end, there it is." Choosing to be ignorant is not going to change the truth. So, I really have no idea why people try to. It blows my mind. Why would you choose to go against the truth? There are so many ways someone can become educated. Yet, people truly rather live in the lies they create due to their ignorance.
It makes no sense to me, diary.
I just don't get it.
Love Forever & Always,
Me
