Hmm. A couple thoughts come to mind here. Where I am going is outside the scope that you intended, but then again, perhaps not?

Not having all the answers does not equal ignorance. Perhaps thinking that humans are capable of learning all the answers is itself ignorant or at least anti-Socratic and definitely hubris. This Neale Donald Walsch transcription from God comes to mind:

"Do not waste the precious moments of this, your present reality, seeking to unveil all of life's secrets. Those secrets are a secret for a reason. Grant your God the benefit of the doubt. Use your NOW moment for the Highest Purpose- the creation and the expression of WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Decide who you are- who you want to be-and then do everything in your power to be that.

It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent. You cannot take responsibility for how well another accepts your truth; you can only ensure how well it is communicated. And by how well, I don't mean merely how clearly; I mean how lovingly, how compassionately, how sensitively, how courageously, and how completely.

If you think your life is about DOINGNESS, you do not understand what you are about. Your soul doesn't care what you do for a living-and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you're BEING while you're doing whatever you're doing. It is a state of BEINGNESS the soul is after, not a state of doingness."

The flipside of the ignorance issue is far too many people think that ignorance is bliss. It most certainly is not though ostrich-people pretend that it is. It's a falsehood like hiding in a bottle of booze or pills. Deep down, we know better.

Ignorance is very dangerous. I wrote about one such danger the other day here: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/yesterday-jews-around-the-world-observed-yom-hashoah-77eecff25155 The subtitle is: This annual day of remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust is observed by Jewish communities worldwide — I decided yesterday to cast light upon the dark specter of antisemitism on this platform.

That's enough from me for now.
