THE LAW OF IGNORANCE

THE LAW OF IGNORANCE

By Ayo Emakhiomhe.

The law says that ignorance of a crime committed by us is no excuse to be let off the hook of paying for it.

The bible says the same thing with respect to sin, leadership and responsibility.

This means that we are not expected to be ignorant. But how can this be when even geniuses don’t know it all? No wonder life is so hard we might say.

Life is not hard; it is our state of mind.

 If we make up our mind to learn every day, to face and surmount challenges, the challenges will come and we will be better for it. We must decide to learn from every situation both good and bad.

Everyone is a fool. But some stop being fools as they learn from their mistakes while others remain bigger fools by ignorance.

The mistakes you learn from are not only your mistakes but the mistakes and lessons from others. They are all around us, our friends, family and neighbors, in the media, in books, in our culture, tradition and religion, from our elders and from our children. The question is how many of us are interested in learning?

We all want to stay in our comfort zone, and this comfort zone sometimes might be a negative one.

A good example I can use is many of the modern day employees in Nigeria. They are worked like slaves and complain continuously, but the day they have the chance to put a little extra effort and be temporarily inconvenienced so as to leave their comfort zone to a better one, they grow cold feet.

Even moving up in an organisation requires doing work that is inconvenience which in many cases might be your boss’ work.

Success in life is doing the inconvenient now to have comfort later. It is living a life of learning till the day you die. Most successful organisations are learning organisation, an organisation that empowers its staff and makes a culture of it, same goes for successful or developed countries.

No matter how successful you think you are or how wise you think you have become, you have only started you have a lot more ahead of you.

In summary, ignorance is a sin and a crime.

Stop living in ignorance in your comfort zone and start learning one page at a time for the rest of your life and history will never forget you.

Also note that the best form of learning is teaching learn to share knowledge and information and you will be better for it.

Learn to give of all you have, learn discernment, learn to learn, increase in wisdom daily, learn to love and be godly.
