It’s wonderful to be ignorant. Not blindly ignorant, but
to consciously know what you don’t know. Think about
it: our mind is invigorated by the unknown. We’re
drawn to books we haven’t read, places we haven’t been,
experiences we haven’t tried. Knowing something is
just a starting point for our imagination: we’re always
eager to know more. As we learn, new questions
arise, expanding the areas of ignorance
to explore.
