What do you do or act or think of when you see or when you talk or when you simply interact with some one that is ignorant and will not take advantage of the resources that are given to them?
I know we all are, but those who really don't care about life and how much they're missing out....
I would like to hear other people's opinion...

Ignorance is bliss. Why disillusion them with knowledge.

I have only known of two or three people who seem to choose to live with their heads in the sand. I did not do well in school. I hated it and did not realize that I had a learning disability until a few yrs ago. I married young. Had children 3 yrs after marrying and spent the next several yrs of my life raising kids and working to survive. Not until my sons were in college did I really start to broaden my horizons. I am not a really intelligent person by comparison but I am no fool either. We all learn at a different pace. And many just have not had the opportunity. I usually give a person the benefit of a doubt before I make a judgment. If I think that they are real ''losers'' or just don't care about anything or have any real opinions or values I don't hang around them long.

Some people should remain ignorant. And a lot of them are a joy to be around as they quit analyzing anything and everything they say and do. I do get upset when I know they are capable of much more - but what is that? If you are doin' your thing, making a living, and enjoying your "status" and the people around you - yeah to you and hope some of it wears off onto you.
If they are truly ignorant, boorish, and all that goes with those advectives, I just move on.

Ignorance makes a man pure. Once a person gain knowledge, he becomes reasonable. That's where the problem lies when man is endowed with knowledge. He begins to use it in their own interest and thus making him selfish. There lies the problem with knowledgeable people. Unlike one with ingorance. Ignorant as they are, they remain good at it for they lack the knowledge that they will drive them to evils. Ignorant person is diffused in the world and they are sometimes less vulnerable to evils compared to the one who has knowledge.
Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Well like the guy before me says, you can't beat the bliss of ignorance. The look of certainty on their face from the absolute confidence that they are right, and the oblivion to anything beyond it. To be honest I remember how many times I've thought I knew something and didn't, I offer my opinion and let them wallow.

What do you do? You can't do much. You can't learn in their stead. Lead by example is one of the few options.
Telling them they are ignorant only leads to hassles.
So live an uncomplicated life if you can, that's my motto.
