Mistakes, Ignorance and Responsibility.

One of my goals in life is to become less ignorant with every moment that passes. Although it is an impossible feat to rid ones self of all ignorance, any less ignorant I become, improves myself, others, and the world around me. The purpose of this is to not lessen the mistakes that I have made, while mistakes can be cause by ignorance, it is not exclusive to that.

Like any human on the planet or any other, I make mistakes. If you are a regular reader of this blog you know I make a lot of them. Some unexplainably happen, and the major ones seem to be caused by my ignorance.

We grow up as children, a blank canvas of a person. As we age, the canvas fills with influences from the outside. At some point in our lives we ourselves begin to fill are own canvas. Some would suggest that this can not hide the way in which the canvas was woven, while a twill weave will always be a twill weave, the nature versus nurture debate's outcome leaves all contestants we a sense of victory.

The mistakes caused by my ignorance are things that I want to avoid, but because of my ignorance, at the time I may have not known that I have made the wrong. To lessen my ignorance is to become aware of my wrongs more quickly, and increase my chance to correct them.

If I have wronged you, you may have just blamed it on my ignorance. While your lack of ignorance justified that conclusion, the blame should be put directly on me. I am the one filled with stupidity and I am the one responsible for the action, and your reaction. I can not blame my ignorance, it is a part of me, and if only I live for eternity do I have the slightest probability of extracting it from me. I am the one who could not grow quickly enough
