Ignorance - The Most Common Crime

Hello Readers! How are you all?

This is going to be my first post for this month. So...yayyy!!

If you talk about legal aspects, then the most common crime maybe a theft. But if we consider the behavioral aspects, then the most common crime is ignorance.

We keep on ignoring many things in our life. Its not that every person ignores only the bad. Sometimes we tend to ignore what is good for us. Oh yes! If you apply some pressure on your think tank, you will be able to realise what I want to say.

These good things are having a very wide range, all part of our daily life. We ignore the advice of our parents. We ignore what is being said by our teachers. We ignore certain warnings issued to us.et cetera et cetera. 

Some people believe in ignoring the whole world around them. They don't give a damn to what is happening and are completely lost in their "own world", which they consider to be very different. This sort of feeling is mostly seen among the youngsters. I am not concluding this on the basis on any report, but just because of my personal experiences.

I have seen many people of my age who have this "to hell with the world" attitude. Let me give you a very strong example.

A few days back, a first year newbie of my college lost his life, just because of ignoring what is right. He, along with his four friends, decided to go on a long drive. They left early morning, skipping his classes.

Today many youngsters have become addicted to narcotics, cigarette and alcohol. Those five children had also become a prey of such lethal things. They all had hukkaah in their hand, which resulted into obvious rash driving. Suddenly their car crashed very badly on the highway. All of them were immediately admitted to a nearby hospital.

But unfortunately, the guy whom I mentioned,  lost his life. He was on ventilator for two days but couldn't survive.

See? This accident happened just because of ignorance.

The guy ignored the fact that drinking and smoking is strictly prohibited under law. But still, he was lost in his own free will which lead him losing his life.

I have been trying a lot to think about the reason for developing this habit of ignorance without fear.
Then after some time, it clicked in my mind that one reason can be the "I am always right" attitude.

This though actually provokes us to ignore almost everything, including what is right. This thought also builds up an unwanted negative side of ours. And slowly we start becoming the one which we don't want to become.

So....please don't indulge in this crime of ignoring. Ignore what's bad and absorb what's good for us. And stop thinking that you are always right. Because this leads to overconfidence, which is in fact our biggest enemy.

I will be back with my new post very soon..

Take Care
Peace
:)
