It is 11:55 pm and my mind is held hostage. You would think that with the advancement of technology, I would be able to capture its footage. However, dispensing my thoughts at this odd hour may be the apt strategy to not run out of storage. And fret not! When I finally hack this discovery, I shall surely share - regardless of the postage.
Seeking knowledge is a rather beautiful and addictive hobby. From the least glorified way, to the highly intellectual and robust method of achieving this goal, there seems to be a common denominator – you are being fed with information!
Acquired information has a semblance to food being fed through a cavity; it finds its way through a complex system that “assesses its value”, potentially retrieves part of it, and churns out either incompatible substances or by-products after active engagement.
If the natural process of assimilation may be likened to the digestive system, then information used void of processing may be likened to receiving an intravenous infusion.

In a world where definitions are rampant and updated by the second, a little relish in the unknown may be the icing on the everyday cake.
And to not egregiously confound my readers, I choose to slightly deviate from the theme and define ignorance. Here, I have defined ignorance as the art of ‘not restricting your knowledge to subjective opinions’.
In fact, being comfortable with the co-existence of respect for opinions in the face of pursuance of truth is an underrated life hack! Surely, it must be such a disservice to the cerebral cortex to not engage with it for the reason it exists?
Denying oneself of ‘truth’ would therefore be akin to contentment with receiving IV fluids as daily nourishment.
And maybe not acquiring the knowledge of mere opinions may contribute neither positively nor negatively to your wellbeing. The real question, however, would be ‘what are these opinions’ and ‘ how do I identify them’? I am quite tempted to use an allegory about allergies and poisons but maybe some other time when it is not 00:45 am
Happy Thinking and boy, am I glad to be back after a long hibernation period!
