Good Saturday friends of Weekend Experiences! What a joy to meet again on a weekend with these great initiatives that @galenkp brings us to share and explore topics that would not have occurred to us in the first place. If you want to see this weekend's topics this is the link

I chose the topic of being or not being ignorant, and I find it exquisite to talk about. First, yes. I am, and then, maybe not haha I don't consider there to be any malice or maliciousness in me, but ignorant, and of course. The world is vast and infinite, I ignore many things. In addition, I think that recognizing it gives us as a reflection a calm ego, in fair measure, nothing to believe that one knows more than another. There are aspects that require it, as they also require that recognition, but it is not the case of this simple humanite.

I believe that there is a certain harmful ignorance in believing that one is not ignorant, and consequently, I believe that there is a richness in accepting that what we ignore allows us to learn, even invites us to learn. I was ignorant of how to play an instrument, and although I learned to do it, I am still a beginner, and I believe that this self-knowledge puts me in the place of an ignorant person who seeks to be better than herself. I find it very appealing to see it that way. Also, I learned to play ONE instrument, I ignore all others.
Conscious ignorance allows us the right opening to learn, it is propitious and fair that if one wants to stop ignoring, start with this step. Accepting that you don't know about such a subject and learning about it.And that's almost magical to me. Even if not, it's a really human and inherent thing, but thinking it's magic lets me enjoy that while it's happening.

Considering that many people see ignorance as a bad thing, or as if one is an ignorant fool, I find it despicable.We all know about something and we are all ignorant about something else.If the question is educational, I have read, I have studied, and I continue to do so.But whoever has never studied and knows how to build walls, or build a shelter, may not know about literature, but knows about construction.I wonder who is more ignorant?

I have never needed to make fire with primitive methods, more than as a joke or for fun, but there are people who are experts in this, we could not say in a scheme, who ignores more than the other. I think the yardstick by which we compare these things is not complete and does not encompass all knowledge. But I do like to think of myself as someone who is ignorant and has a desire and thirst to learn.Like the very desire to live, when one already knows that the “sentence” is death. The final sentence is that, to die, but in the meantime, you make a difference when you live.
I also get the impression that the question of being an ignorant fool encompasses the aspect of whether or not one is malicious with one's ignorance.In that aspect I usually don't bother and ask or ask for an explanation to get out of the ignorant place and understand.
It is one of the richest growths of mind and soul there is, to recognize ourselves ignorant.At least in my thinking it is so, and I was delighted to share it with you, I hope you enjoyed it, as well as the photographs I chose to accompany this ignorant moment of myself haha.
Thanks for reading me, Kiki✨
