QUESTIONS EXISTING : Are so many of the general public so unenlightened? Are so many of the general public not an enlightened citizenry? Do they seem like robots without a mind to think critically, independently and operate like robots not having the capacity to use their brains with commonsense, unless they are artificially programmed a certain way like robots who don't have a real brain to use? Aren't they fed a daily dose of propanganda, sensationalism, related schisms and "dumbing-down" mechanisms and by mainstream "pundits" and culprits?

The fact is that people do have brains but do they use it to their full potential intelligently? No? What would it take to do so? If no and the overwhelming majority of people don't then that's sad, so sad. And why don't they?

Forget about the appearance of people for a moment, look beyond that. How undesirable are they when they are not using their brains to its full/est intellectual ability. Aren't people undesirable when they express in word and deed things undesirable? Aren't they just a product of their environment? In a biblical term it is said "judge not unless yea be judged", but don't we desire a more enlightened citizenry.  Do we just ignore them?

There is a saying "ignorance is bliss" and it sure can be. Right?! If not having the conscious presence of mind of things right from wrong of which should be so obvious is ignorance, then why should that be blissful? It really shouldn't be a blissful state of mind and emotion. If one is ignorant, one is unenlightened and uneducated to some degree. And so, ignorant people are unenlightened and uneducated to varied degrees and that run the gamut to such ignorance for those who are. No one is perfect as I myself am not. I'm sure I am ignorant at some time, in some ways and I continue to be work in progress. But, I am and will remain cognizant of word and deed. Many adults who should know better don't, they just don't. Much is to be said about being "creatures of habit", the environment in which we live, our words and deed, parenting and the quality and quantity of it, values, morals, principles and virtues. All that for another day and time. Same IT different DAY. To be continued ..... while QUESTIONS remain, questions EXISTING.
