IGNOre me will i RANT.

I am taking a break from studying (ok so maybe I haven't really started and it's 12:30, whoops!) to inform you of the following, via a mediocrely zealous rant.....The dictionary defines ignorance as: "lacking in knowledge, or uninformed". The urban dictionary defines it as something else, but for the sake of decency we will just leave it at that...

I am all about knowledge.

I HATE ignorance.

Absolutely hate it.

But it's not the lack of knowledge that is so unsettling, 

No.

But rather the complacency that comes with this lack of knowledge.

Or the belief that you DO, in fact, know it all, and thus, don't need to learn anything else.

THIS, my friends, is what bothers me so.

What erks and vexes me to no end.

It's the idea that someone has no desire to gain more knowledge.

And would rather speak as if they know it all, instead of owning up to their scarcity of knowledge.

Ok.

So now that we have got that down.

And you all know that I don't like ignorance,

We will move on.....

It occurred to me the other day that you don't just have to speak with ignorance to be ignorant.

Let me repeat that.

Just because you don't speak ignorantly doesn't mean you are not still ignorant.

I thought about this.

And thought about it.

And thought about it some more.

And I came to the consensus that 

although I may not speak with ignorance,

I. may. live. with. it.

WHAT.

I LIVE ignorantly.

Just because I don't speak with a lack of knowledge.

Doesn't mean I don't live with it.

Ok.

So I know some of you are probably pretty confused right about now.

Let 

me 

break

it 

down.............

I seek after knowledge.

This means that I am looking for knowledge, and although, do not know it all, am trying to become more informed.

And when I speak, I either speak with the wisdom of this knowledge that I DO know, or do not speak at all if it is something pertaining to those things I do NOT yet know.

Therefore, I do not speak with ignorance.

I do not speak as one uninformed.

But I DO live this way.

And although it vexes me to no end to say this,

But although I do not speak with ignorance,

I live ignorance.

Every. single. day.

I know the facts.

I know the truths.

But that doesn't mean I always live by them.

I may speak with knowledge.

But that doesn't mean I always live by this knowledge.

Many times we KNOW what's right and what's wrong.

But we find ourselves LIVING contradictory to the exact truths that we SPEAK.

Whyyyyyyy.

You can only imagine how much of a grievance this was,

to find out that the exact thing that I hate,

irrevocably and uncontrollably hate,

was the exact way I. was. living.

Ughhh.

Such disgust.

And disappointment.

I don't have to speak ignorantly to be ignorant.

The ignorance that I live daily is more than enough to do just that.

So ignorance.

IGNORing (the truths) while RANTing.

Yes, 

but more so,

IGNORing (the truths) while LIVING.

Forever His,

Rachel
