Ignorance is not always a bad thing.
We're all ignorant about a lot of things - I am ignorant about a lot of things that I'm not interested in ---and I'm sure I'll die that way.
I don't know anything about mountain climbing, sky diving, river rafting, making quilts, making pottery, growing orchids, tying flies, raising turkeys, buying stock futures, or soccer. And, there are thousands of things that I know nothing about.
I can imagine me trying to discuss mountain climbing gear. Certainly a lot of people might call me a stupid idiot - or a nicer person might call me ignorant.
Being ignorant in many regards simply means that we just aren't interested in something - and there is no reason we should be - and no reason we should know a lot about everything.
I know a lot people look at pets in a pet store because they enjoy seeing them. (That's why people love to go to zoos.) Many of these people have no pets and have no reason to be very knowledgeable about raising them, training them , current diseases, necessary shots, different breeds, different sizes, different colors, etc. They have no reason to know this information.
Let's just enjoy being dog nuts! We love our dogs, spoil our dogs, dress our dogs, treat them like children, read about them, go to shows, spend hours on YT, study about them, talk about them, learn more about them, and probably drive a lot of people crazy.
Seems that since I got my new pup, all I talk about is my Yorkie (according to my family).
All my family talks about is sports and golf (according to me).
Sounds like a normal family to me! We all know a lot about some things and nothing about other things.
Ignorance is not always a bad thing.
