Ignorance is not bliss!

Our biggest problem today is our ignorance. Ignorance is our number one enemy. The hard cold fact is that we don’t know we are ignorant. We think we are “alright!” We think because we have gone to school, because we go to church, because we read the newspapers and magazines, and watch television, and read the Bible that we are “alright!” We are like sheep. We are and have been following the flock to the slaughter! If we are “alright” with what we know – what we know is not good enough.
Let’s look at some statistics. Healthwise we are at the bottom or top depending on how you look at it, in every category we have more cancer, more diabetes, more strokes, more AIDS, how can we be “alright?” We are “alright” in our blissful state of ignorance! I must bust your bubble – we have and are being deceived. With all of our accumulation of knowledge, we have not been taught the truth. Nor have we received an equal education. If we are so “smart,” why are we so “sick?” What is at the root of our sickness? Why are there so many cardiovascular problems, heart attack, stroke, hypertension and diabetes in the black community, specifically and other communities in general?
At the root of our ignorance is eating the wrong “food.” Many of us are poison animal eaters! The poisoned animal is the pig, swine or hog. A pig will kill and eat a rattlesnake, but the rattlesnake can’t kill the pig! This means that the poison of the pig is more potent than a rattlesnakes venom! But if a rattlesnake bit us, you and I would die. Yet, we eat the pig but we don’t die immediately – because it is protracted – where we die slowly acquiring arthritis, rheumatism, diabetes, hypertension, a stroke, a heart attack and then finally death. Our ignorance is not bliss, our ignorance is killing us sure enough!
