Yes, definitely, Ignorance is bliss. It makes the world a better place to be in. It makes the world a perfect picture to one, tailored to what one would want to hear and ignore those that one does not want to hear. If you ignore the evilness in this world, the world would be one of peace and harmony. If you ignore the inequality among us, everybody would be friends. Just ignore everything that you do not want to see, hear, touch, think, smell or even taste, the world would become an Utopian state that you would always be satisfied with. Ignorance is Bliss, making everything deem pleasurable and desirable to the ones ignoring.
But what about those being ignored? Those that are uncared for and have no stand in society. Those that many have ignored and are seen as irrelevant and useless. Ignorance is definitely not blissful for them. In fact, it is a torture. A torture that they want to runaway from, but can't, it is everywhere. A torture that they want to ignore, but it is an inescapable hurt deep within.
You tell someone nicely. Ignored.
You try to strike a conversation to built stronger relationship. Ignored.
You hope the someone change for the better. Ignored.
You are just trying to help. Ignored.
You are doing the best one can do. Ignored.
After a while, you can't seem to take it anymore. You scream at them, yell at them, and cry your heart and feelings out in front of them. Ignored.
So why do people ignore others when it hurts so much?
Why would they ignore if they don't want to be ignored?
