Being Ignorant Is A Choice


We all have people in our lives whereby we wonder what they're thinking. We question how or why they make the decisions or choices that they make. They don't want to work; they don't want to go to school; they don't want to study; they don't want to take care of their health, etc. There's a constant complaint of nothing good ever happening in their lives. They try to explain why nothing is ever their fault.  They may get defensive or argumentative. They don't understand why others may not want to waste any energy listening to the barrage of negativity. It's really not worth it to try to change the complainant's mind; to try to get them to view things differently.

There are people who just enjoy complaining about their life. Everyone is out to get them. They create a negative environment for themselves. They play the pity card. Nothing good ever happens to them. Why don't they have the same kind of luck that others do?

If you choose not to pay your taxes and you get caught, that's on you. If you choose not to study and you fail a big test, you only have yourself to blame. Why walk around feeling sorry for yourself?

This type of behavior is aggravating. Don't try to manipulate others into fixing your problems. Don't think that you are fooling anyone. You can be mad at others or even hate others for not buying into your craziness. There won't be any hurt feelings.

If, however, you really want to change yourself or your situation and you're willing to take action by putting a plan in place, then, you will find a lot of family and friends that will be willing  to support you. Take the necessary steps that will help shape & mold you into being a better person. You'll be much happier and less stressful.

Once you stop lying to yourself, you'll stop lying to others. Remember, being ignorant is a choice. You have the ability to stand on your own and be accountable for yourself. And, that's something worth cheering about!!.
