puzzling question...

There is no way for anyone to answer this question without having ignorance. Even in asking a question is ignorance. You are openminded because you want to be that way........wanting is a type of ignorance. Me even typing is ignorance sooo damnn. Eventually I will change my view of this......threw ignorance. What a pity for myself.

It could be just about everything and that keeping in view infinite amount of information encoded in the things of this world, and capacities for knowing present in the mind, that are mostly unfulfilled and often even unrealised, ignorance could be just about everything but never exactly everything - the main defence against overwhelming ignorance all around a circle of awareness is a being in realisation of this very fact, that it is in ignorance, a mind aware of its own inherent limitations that it is not made to fulfil itself with merely itself, there must be something else besides that it should seek. And in this search is the reason for the mind to traverse through darkness illuminating along its path towards a destination that can only be conceived in a wordless state of being.

We never seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge alone. It is just as we never travel for the sole purpose of travelling without a purpose much better still in the mind. And when we do finally achieve our worldly goals, reach materialistic ends to our objectives, we pause a little, feel a little dejected, lost and distressed. This is due to the fact that whatever we achieve is never the end, never the final door out an entombment of ignorance of an embodied world, far from it, as all milestones along the paths of our life are but only new beginnings of new distances stretched endlessly into mist of ignorance all around and in front.

Ignorance in this sense is the path that we travel upon, leaving our faint footsteps along the way; or it could be like a blank page upon which we write the story of our life, as being constantly searching, longing and yearning for its original forgotten home somewhere beyond realms of time and space, beginnings and ends. One this path we need to go just as far as our quest can take us, and we need just as much ignorance to be aware of as much we need space of paper to write on.

Hello:

Well yes, on the one hand we do have to navigate through the world with a prejudice...which is to say with some idea of what we are doing and why even though we do not and will likely never have the big picture in mind.

I hope this helps.

Well, if you want to define these two, you'd just have to delineate ignorance, and open-mindedness. Yes, they can be combined, but they also stand as a concept without being mixed with one another.

yes, without ignorance, we might not be as open-minded - because we would be more aware of the consequences....

Sure, but I think people that are open-minded can accept that easier than narrow-minded people.
