Is ignorance really bliss???

      

Ignorance is only bliss to those who are consumed by ignorance! 

    Life is full of people who are ignorant. Ignorant to ones feelings, ignorant to basic issues, just ignorant to life around them. It has come to my attention people will be stuck in their ways regardless what happens to them or those around them. I will never fully understand peoples thought process on how they act or treat others... Truth is it's NOT my problem. 

For me, accepting peoples ignorance is hard, mainly because it's a frustrating thing to deal with. For example, at work yesterday I was having to serve a table who seemed quiet, and stuck their noses up at me.... as if they were above me! NEWS FLASH i'm working my way through college... no need to play the "whose better than who game." Regardless, their ignorance left me with no tip on a 61$ bill... they left with perfectly full stomaches, plenty to drink, and nothing but smiles throughout their entire meal... I did all I could but wipe their ass for them... Unfortunately that's how serving is... Most people are ignorant to the fact the only money I make is what comes in the form of tips. 

Life goes on, and people continue walking aimlessly in their own little worlds. I feel as though I am open to those and willing to hear out others no matter their issues on a subject, even if it is against me. To my dismay I fully know the feeling of being the only competent one willing to share my ears, heart, and feelings and still be crushed in the end. 

I understand everyone is different on how they handle a difficult situations, and not everyone will see eye to eye on subjects out of their understanding. The word IGNORANT does a great job of summing up those around me, especially at work. 

The main thing I want people to get out of this post is that they wont always come out being understood or taken seriously. People are entitled and don't respect those around them... regardless if you respect them. Keeping a positive attitude over negative situation is the only thing you can honestly do. I am attempting to take my own advice and be the bigger person. I'm coming to realize people will put their own insecurities, problems, and feelings in front of everyone else's... that's just how our society is, they are selfish, self centered, and most of all ignorant.
