I fought against a person this week that made the statement that they were not ignorant, but then followed that statement saying, “I’m not stupid.” They didn’t even realize the ignorance that was in the statement that they had just made, from the lack of understanding the difference between ignorance and stupidity. So if you would, allow me to break down the difference between ignorance and stupidity so that you can better understand how ignorant this person really is.
Let’s start with stupidity. Stupidity is reached when a person has received all of the information that they need to have about a certain matter. Accepted that information for its truth or existence. But still decides to go against the grain as if the thing of existence that was proven will not be there. For instance, there is a wall that is right in front of you. This wall is a solid surface that will not move with the amount of force that you can make with the muscle within your body. To run into this wall would hurt and could possibly cause injury. Now with that information given to you, you now have all the information that you need to know at the time to make the appropriate decision about you and that wall. Even if you lost one of your senses like sight or sound, you still have received the knowledge of its existence to make the decision that you need to make to avoid the collision that is set up in front of you. It is at this point that if you decide to run full speed straight into that wall that you fall in the category of stupid. You would have no one to blame but yourself.

Now ignorance works differently. For some odd reason, it seems, that some think that we are born into this life with knowledge. It is the total opposite though. You are born into this life completely ignorant. To argue the fact that you are not is the proof in itself that you are ignorant. You don’t have a clue of anything as a child and everything that you learn is something that you have been taught. Some may ask questions about certain things already, so let me just say it once again. Everything in this life that you have knowledge of, is because something taught you, not because you already knew it. Ways that you learn things can happen many different ways, and I will not debate that happening. But you still have to accept the fact of when using the word learned, that there was something that taught you. Trust me, I have already had the argument about, how is it that you know to eat as a baby. You learn that also. The ignorant just overlook the teaching process in doing that. So to go back to the wall situation that I used in stupidity. If you were ignorant of the walls existence, meaning that you had no knowledge of the wall being there at all, you didn’t see it, no one told you about it, you are blind and hard of hearing that you didn’t hear the person yell watch out! Then this would fall in the category of ignorance. This is not your fault because you had no way of knowing. At this level you would be ignorant. This should not be something that we should be offended by, but we should understand is within the happening of our existence. We are ignorant.
Minds have known this for some time now, and have creatively in law coined the phrase, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” Meaning just because you didn’t know it was there doesn’t mean that you can’t be punished by it. Actually it sets the precedence that even though you didn’t know it was there and are completely ignorant of its existence you still will be prosecuted as if you had full knowledge of it. It’s funny how your own ignorance in this system can be used against us. For instance, let’s look at a law that you didn’t even know existed.
Document: Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-8-205
8-8-205. Acting as attorney or security prohibited — Attorney as deputy.
(a) No sheriff or deputy sheriff shall appear in any court as attorney or counsel for any party, nor become security for any party in any civil suit or criminal proceeding.
Here is the link if you want to look at it yourself: Tennessee Code Annotated Title 8, Chapter 8, Part 2, 8-8-205
One thing that I want you to know is that when my friends asked me to go to court with them, my answer would clearly be….. (Well, let’s just understand that I was a deputy sheriff.)
Now what you should understand is happening is some of you are now becoming of knowledge to something that you were ignorant of. But what you have to understand is that while you are no longer ignorant to this law, there are still so many that don’t have a clue of its existence and even more that are being born at this very moment that might not even have the opportunity to get to know it. That is just how ignorance works. When you do not have the knowledge to know, or even worse, don’t have the energy transmitted to even make you search for what you don’t know. Then you are completely ignorant of the fact that it exist.
Ignorance is not a bad thing, even though we have taken its truth and made it offensive in a sense. It is a thing that we all are. You are ignorant, and to act as if you are not. Well, that’s a big part of the problem. – Frizzy
