The person who posted this meme commented: Must Be Blissful Though
And sure, I have heard the old saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” but I beg to differ.
Ignorance is not bliss. Lack of awareness shortens your life and endangers those around you.
For years my email footer has included the text:
“Our most formidable enemies are:
Personal and collective ignorance,
personal and organisational out-ethics,
lack of personal integrity and
lack of self-discipline.
What we don’t know and what we know we should do but do not discipline ourselves to do are two things that will kill us. Gradually or suddenly.
Self-discipline is a skill and just like any skill, it improves with practice.
On what are you going to practice yours today?”
The ability to confront anything alleviates the stress that some feel when asked to look at things about which they feel uncomfortable.
I have read that the ability to confront evil is man’s lowest ability and the last two years has provided a mountain of evidence to support that. If more people could confront the massive evil planned and executed against the people there would be quite a few trials had and traitors swinging from the end of ropes by now.
So while I love the meme, a more correct version of it would say, “Your lack of confront and resulting ignorance doesn’t make me a conspiracy theorist.”
