Not a new Viking god, but the root of the two words: ignore and ignorance. Words with diverse meanings and intents.
We ‘ignore’ because it’s a choice. We alone are responsible and, in effect, set a tone of disengagement. Yet when we do ignore out of spite, coercion or discord, are we a beneficiary?
When we are ignorant, we are somewhat oblivious. That, too, has its misgivings. However, ignorance due to obliviousness is a guide to development, while that carelessness is one of demise in character.
We can ignore or be ignorant, yet both have implications for the person we choose to be.
