Re: Niggardly - Ignorance may not be bliss

[Jacque Foreman <foremangraphics -at- JUNO -dot- COM>]

Mike has done a terrific job of showing why it is necessary to become
educated and, just as important, able to admit ignorance which never
should be confused with stupidity. It seems apropos to share with you a
truism to which I was first introduced by my father.

He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise, follow him.
He who knows and knows not that he knows, he is asleep, wake him.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not, he is ignorant, teach him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is stupid, shun him.

It is too easy to blame others for our ignorance and take offence by what
we THINK/ASSUME has been said. Best that we take responsibility for our
own lack of knowledge and go about correcting it.

Happiness, joy & laughter
