I don't believe that there is a set of objective universal truths that we must search for, and that not searching for them is evil or ignorant. Rather, being a dynamic and open individual - spiritually, intellectually, whatever - involves a depth of inquisitiveness that extends to all aspects of life and interaction.

All sayings are true in a context, not and never in all contexts. All our sayings, including the so called gospel truths are relative, contextual truths, never the absolute truths for OUR LIFE IS AN EVER DYNAMIC LIVING FORCE. In a sense our politicians, priests need only bunches of ignorant massess to harvest their vested greeds and agenda. I don’t venture to disagree with what Unkie Herb says there.

This is the kind of thing I wish I could express even half as articulately. In response to sulochanosho, I disagree. Ignorance can be dangerous not only when it is disguised behind arrogance, but also when an ignorant soul is depended upon in a society that requires engagement - such as a democracy.

Indeed very informative and innovative distiction there. This 'ignorance' concept has different shades and meaning in different contexts and domains. 'Ignorance is dangerous'. 'Ignorance is bliss.'Somebody's ignorance is someone's knowledge'. 'Enough of knowing, just live your life.' 'Knowledge is light, ignorance is dark.' There's no end of identifying different shades of ignorance. Of the most danger of ingornce is that when one pretends to be knowing all, inspite of ignorance. The way to know is to accept our ignorance. Yes. there is no end. Thanx David for your beautiful write-up there. A crystal clear distinct clarity there on ‘ignorance’!
