This affliction with ignorance strikes all. No one knows truth only opinion.

Evil is perpetrated by the ignorance and folly of humankind. It has followed
us from the dawn of time. For the most part we see evil in others but are
not so readily to see it in ourselves. This is because of defense mechanisms
such as denial and rationalizations. How do we combat evil or more
specifically? It goes back to the old adage that I see the twig in your eye,
but do not see the log in my own eye! Sure, it is easy to see the evil and
problems in the world. What is harder is to combat our own ignorance. It
begins with me personally! I, the writer plead "I do not know everything".
What's more much of what people and I know is opinion. This goes without
saying up to an including the most acclaimed, accomplished, brilliant, and
genius of experts. In my own case I, perhaps misguidedly, rely on an
intuitive intelligence. I also use as a barometer my internal emotions. If I
detect a negative emotion, label, or pejorative, then I know that at least
part of my message is distorted and ignorant. To combat ignorance, I will
walk the path and start with my own.
