What is the meaning of ignorant?
Well in dictionary it says discourteous or rude.
We all will agree with it, sometimes we are ignorant and most of the times others are ignorant .We have to admit it kinda hurts, doesnt it? like here we are tring to talk or do something or being nice to this person and look at them they are so ignorant! they dont even acknowledge us.
Being unnoticed hurts, doesnt it? to not be able to be recognised by someone who somehow holds importance in our lives (not talking about major importance just a little will also do).
But do we ever think why that person is ignorant? surely they did not born this way like c'mon that will b crazy!  we all are born like same literally. But time, series of events shape us as a person and yes importantly our choices finally makes us who we are.How do we become an ignorant person? it is very simple, really! not at all complicated, you remeber the time you did not think it was important to say thank you to the waiter or the time you failed to aknowledge your teacher or the day you thought complimenting someone will be so creepy or may be not your standard or the time you thought thank you was implied, that very moment you helped that person to climb one stair for becoming an ignorant human.We often forget this small detail, what might be small for us may be big for someone. When we take those decisons we change another person's view, we help them become ignorant and gradually they become ignorant in their life as whole.
You know becoming discourteous or rude doesnt give happiness or joy to anyone ,in fact it hurts them more than it hurts you,but by being ignorant they protect themselves from what they did to you that is "ignore"
Ironic!
I am writing this because i have been through it and also i have done it with others too and trust me this does not stop,you ignore them, they in return ignore someone else and this goes on.The only way you can stop it is by not doing what someone did to you, that is ignore.
So compliment others, aknowledge their presence, say thank you to the janitor, appreciate someones effort even if it is small and see how it will bring smile on their faces, how that small gesture will change them, even if it will be tiny one and u never know may be they will not be ignorant
to someone elses effort for them.
