Hello, Cyclist! If you will permit me a side bar observation about ignorance, not pertaining to you or anyone else personally, I would like to confess that in almost no area am I really a hot-shot expert (though I may at times delude myself into thinking so) and in many areas I am quite dismally ignorant. There is no man who is not superior to me in some way. Accordingly, I believe that the man of God, if he feels possessed of the license to call his brother ignorant, should take remedial steps to get that license revoked forthwith. :-) Even though I am a self-confessed ignoramus, I'd much prefer to confess my ignorance than hear it proclaimed by one who, on balance, is likely just as ignorant in his way as I in mine. I stress again that this is no thinly-disguised attempt to point an accusing finger at anyone; it is meant rather to be a testimony to what my 67 years have taught me about ignorance, mine mainly, but also about how wide-spread ignorance is among the imprefect creatures that comprise the human species. Realization of my ignorance has had a positive effect on my life and outlook, however. It is easier to be humble and harder to be proud when I look ignorance squarely in the fact and realize how much of it I have. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Now I want to "side bar" with you here. I can not stand, actually sit, by and let you claim all the credit for being so dismally ignorant. I have long considered that when it comes to being ignorant that I am sure I am far more ignorant than you! I am not sure if I am close to first or last plaace. Perhaps most ignorant would be the place in which I am not to far from. Now please remember ignorant is not related to stupid. Stupid means you won't or can't learn. Ignorant is you are unaware, or don't have full knowledge. So please save some honor for me! I am sure after two or three decades more I will be up to the ignorance level of some of our more educated Forum writers. So please be patient with me. You see I am where you were a long time ago. I hope that finding the most ignorant person in the forum does not become a low, high place to be. Maybe this note will spur a whole new long series of notes? agape, justme |
