And then, we learnt the art of “Ignorance”

“Now we all are wearing masks of ignorance pretending we didn’t know,
it was gamble every time we picked between two evils to lead us to show..”

We have learnt the art of Ignorance, but have we mastered it yet? We think ignoring solves it all, but like every game we play, there are levels we have to cross.

We have learnt the art of Ignorance, but have we ever thought to ourselves what is the next level to win the game? Have we mastered the art of acceptance?

We humans do realise what it takes to ignore something/someone, but have we ever gave it thought to realise what it actually takes to accept something/someone.

We proudly say “I ignored it” have we ever thought to ourselves, “Why don’t I accept it?”

Not every human in the world is a victim of situations but most of them make situations their reasons and say “I have mastered the art of ignorance.” We humans just don’t realise, we have just completed the level 1, the game isnt over yet.

We were taught “ignore and move on” have we learnt it yet? We just ignore, but to move on we will have to learn the art of acceptance.

Not so long ago we were introduced to technology that can teach us how to ignore but not to accept, you can have a mobile phone which ignores the sim if its 4G but never accepts if its 2G. but its we who made it and its just showing us back our reflection.

But we just don’t realise that “nature” which was there even before we existed taught us to art of ignorance and acceptance. It ignores us when we kill it and accepts us when we want medications or peace.

I watch the waves crash in, breaking on the shore
All their anger dispensed on the oceans floor
I look at the sky so blue, sun shining so bright
Spreading heat and happiness with its blinding light
Long blades of grass swaying in the gentle breeze
Dancing in rhythm with so much ease
Look up at the trees hearing the singing of the birds
Happily chirping singing at ease without words
Sitting here holding my knees to my chest
Watching and hearing nature at its best
I ponder how Nature could get it so right, I ponder how Nature could get it right.

We can master the art of ignorance, but we can never master the art of acceptance, Because accepting something/someone takes guts and we have mastered the art of ignorance so much that maybe we have forgotten that being selfless is not harming your self respect and being selfish doesn’t make you the master all times.

So just in case you think you have mastered the art of ignorance, go for the next level and master the art of acceptance..

Because Happiness can only exist in..
