RiverSnake Posted December 21, 2011 It is said that you can tell how far you are on the path by how blissful your life is and how close you are to truth. If everyday you feel intense suffering then you are still in your infancy...still too much garbage clotting your being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted December 21, 2011 Intuition is knowing more than you think you know. Â Â Ignorance is thinking you know more than you do. Â Â Â Well, i define ignorance as the state of ignoring something/everything. The dictionary defines it as stupid(ity). There's really little difference, i guess... i guess you have to be stupid to be ignorant, but i differintiate them. Â Â Prejudice is also a good one, thinking you know more than you do about something you have no knowledge; pre-judging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeiChuan Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I believe accepting what you know,and leaving it at that. Instead of trying to label the amount you know would ease peoples minds alot more. Edited December 21, 2011 by NeiChuan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
