ignorance

Against logic there is no armor like ignorance.
- Laurence J. Peter
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
- WC Fields
Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
- Will Durant

i'm reading 'the brain that changes itself' very interesting. always so intrigued by neurosciences. so far 4/5.

recently finished:
moral disorder - margaret atwood - rating 3/5
knights of the black and white - jack whyte rating 3/5
the in-between world of vikram lall - mg vassanji 31/2/5

two books that i just bought:
the alchemist and the witch of portobello both by paulo coelho. heard mix reviews...will see.

more great books to read that are still packed up...

ignorance is a very thought provoking state.
the infamous saying: ignorance is bliss, is a truly loaded phrase.
i wish sometimes the in-between state of being ignorant but my logic cannot justify this wanting.
i am fascinated by the recent year or so of experiences and observations in environments that have challenged my very thought of what is normal.
i try to be in constant openness to possibilities that are different to the way i think and know.
so that i may perhaps grasps somehow, if not fully convince myself of an understanding beyond my own logic.
it has been truthfully quite draining in mind set logic as well as emotionally.
it is coming to an end.
on most days i am so relieved
but on occasion, i find that i am sadden by the possibilities that will not come.
the horizon started very brightly
i'm not sure if i had a play in the dimming of it.
i run events backwards, and have not a clue.
if anything, another chapter is at its end, and i know i have learn new and grown in ways that have not come to light yet.
i today, am looking forward to what is ahead.
life is a concoction of amazing, crazy and surprising elements...
