Ignorance and childhood

There is not just one type of ignorance. Some of it is accidental, some of it is willful, but a lot of it is taught to us as children. Ignorance is often painfully  present during the most vulnerable and impressionable years of our lives.

Differentiating between the different types of ignorance is key to eliminating it. We must ask - to what extent is this person ignorant and what in their lives contributed to that? And instead of assuming reasons for the latter, we must ask that person ourselves.
