Is Ignorance Bliss?

It never fails to amaze me how ignorant we are as a race. Our own history teaches us this time after time and yet we fail to comprehend it.

There was a time when human sacrifice was demanded and offered to the 'Gods' so as to stop the spewing forth, of what we know today as lava or earthquakes or a variety of other 'unknowns'.

There was a time when anyone who showed abilities and or ties to unknown forces was labeled a witch as was burned at the stake because, it was easier to deal with the unknown in this way, than to even think of the possibilities, that those individuals 'may' be on to something.

There was a time when the scientist who coined the phrase ‘Plate Tectonics’ was ridiculed and laughed at to the point of destroying his career. Today that same theory is a known and proven fact.

There was also a time when the Earth was know to be Flat and anyone who would think otherwise was a heretic or worse. Yeah OK.

Less than a hundred years ago the same was thought of anyone who thought a person could fly!

Still we have progressed so little in this regard. For even today many think that their way is the right way, the only way, and if their way is right, than yours must be wrong. So convinced that their opinion is the only logical or right way of thinking that all others are cast aside as rubbish. For even the possibility of anything otherwise, sent shock waves through them of horrors unimaginable.

To bad - so sad. Nothing has changed!

Any time one person thinks that their way is the only and therefore right way, they are only fooling themselves and are also proving their own ignorance. Just because something works for one, doesn't mean it will work for another. Everyone has a right to their own views and opinion. Ultimately the individual armed with choices makes his/her own decision based on what works for them. The suppression of what is true for one but not for the other is a gross misinterpretation on the grandest of scale. It is precisely that attitude which leads us to wars as our religious beliefs have proven over and over again. The failure to at least look upon the views and reasoning of the other and to evaluate it for what it ‘might contain’ makes us no more intelligent than the lowest of life forms.

I write this in response to a friend who had their Alternative Health Articles cut from the local paper because in someone's opinion, his latest article was a violation of their truth. Let us fight shall we. Lets go back to the sandbox and prove who is the king! How ignorant. Everybody has a right to his beliefs or findings, as in this case, as they see it. To suppress such ideas would be to have us still living in a world that was flat, where human sacrifice was demanded and witches are still being burned at the stake. Shall I go on?

Meanwhile the information that was surpressed because of someone’s disagreement may have helped someone else, but now this information is no longer available. There is a word for this; its called censorship and it runs right up there with communism.

No one person is right - just as no one person is wrong. The sooner everyone realizes we are all one, the sooner we can all have peace.

A wish for all - be the Light
