The consequences
of ignorance are better not imagined. While education is said to be expensive,
ignorance is even more expensive considering the unpleasant consequences of
ignorance. Some of them are:
Captivity which
occurs because an ignorant person or persons lack direction and lack of
direction leads to captivity as in the case of the Israelites described in
Isaiah Chapter 5 verse 13. They had no idea where to go and even if they had an
idea of where to go, they had absolutely no idea how to get there and they
ended up in captivity.
Hunger – even the
honorable men amongst them who ideally should have had abundance suffered
hunger because there was no food for them. Beloved, can you imagine what the
commoners would suffer if their honorable men suffered hunger? Famine! This is
to say that famine can be occasioned by ignorance.
