Growing Ignorance
The idea that as specie we are growing ignorance dawned
on me when I saw a clip of a man explaining how he had failed to correct the
record concerning Down syndrome. When he overheard someone spill misinformation
about it, he said nothing. In that manner he said “I let ignorance grow.”
That was profound and insightful to me. In what ways I
allow ignorance grow because I did not want to cause a ripple in the social
contract? How many times have I held a comment that would have brought light to
those around me? Because I claim to be an ambassador of light; it is a sacred
part of my journey to stem the growth of ignorance wherever I encounter it. That
is one of the solemn duties we undertook when we incarnated into this age of
growing awareness.
The magnificence of the human being must be help up as a
signal to ignorance that its reign of darkness upon our kind is ending. I know
there are great examples of ignorance on parade every day, especially on the
internet. That must not daunt us. We must stand as a force for light and
knowledge and shine away the dark bondage of ignorance.
Today, we must
impede the advance of ignorance even a little bit.
