Ignorance is Bondage

Ignorance is bondage.

Ignorance is self perpetuating.

The path of ignorance is much easier than the path of truth and enlightenment.

The bondage of ignorance, is a jail with invisible bars. You do not know that you are in bondage until the yoke of ignorance is thrown off.

The more flagrant the ignorance, the greater the zeal the person who has it, has in propagating it.

Ignorance appeals to the narcissistic parts of the mind. It is a trap. The only way out of the bondage of ignorance, is the truth.

Depth of Human Ignorance

The depth of human ignorance is bottomless.

The depth of human disillusionment is bottomless.

The depth of human suffering is bottomless.

Human ignorance is something that we can fix in ourselves. It takes very much effort to make a human being see past and ignorance that is cherished. So the best course of action is to eliminate it in oneself.

Disillusionment comes very easily. It is part of the maturation process. The world does not operate as seen through a child's eyes. Our task is to take the bitterness out of disillusionment and turn it into a learning experience.

Suffering is universal. We as humans, suffer a lot through self-inflicted wounds in thoughts, words and deeds. If we can alleviate suffering in others, we are doing work of the highest altruistic order. If we alleviate suffering in ourselves, we do ourselves a favor. The key is to eliminate human ignorance in ourselves.
