Whoever coined this phrase must have been a sheer genius!!! Over the recent past I have come to appreciate the various meanings associated with this phrase and trust me,they all are so apt!!
It is believed that ignoring a person is indicative of bad behaviour...I don't think ignoring people is correct...especially when they are acquaintances or more over friends...but we can always learn to ignore certain faults or qualities that we disapprove of in them,it certainly helps in building a rapport with a person plus technically u ain't disowning the person!! Ignoring certain fallacies doesn't mean that u disapprove of the person,its just that you have accepted the person the way he/she is and have chosen to overlook certain qualities they possess!! Certainly ignoring such things is justified...!The whole point is to practice and then preach...so first implement it yourselves and then tell others to follow it...!
Sometimes you feel the need to get on with your life....everyone has their share of problems....face them and move on....always look for solutions,don't create problems!! Ignoring certain aspects of a problem like the difficulty in finding a solution,or the helpless situation where all you pray for is divine intervention; certainly helps speed up the process of damage control....pondering over how things are,why things are so etc don't help the cause one bit.Instead it just adds to the worries...so learn to ignore such things because "Impossible is Nothing!!"
Ignoring a few matters which don't really affect your own life helps in focusing on your own goals...I am not saying that totally give up on everything else and be self-centered,its just that on some occasions,its better if you are the centre of your universe and nobody else...some may say its being selfish or being too proud of oneself or having utter disregard for other people's feelings or whatever...bottom line is that its not a crime to look after yourself...its not mandatory to be part of other's life (esp when the person ain't totally thrilled by your involvement ) and it certainly ain't wrong to work on things that are important to you first and then move on to help others out....Please don't get me wrong I am not anti-social or anti-people or the unkind or unhelpful...I am just saying that finally no one cares more for your life than you do...so there is no harm in being the centre of attraction in your OWN life!!!
In the end I'd like to add by saying ignorance is bliss,use it judiciously!!!

simply speaking..mala awadla..mala radind ani writing baddal kahi knowledge nahin ahe , pan tu je lihila ahes te patla , genuine watla , the way u've arranged ur argument , uska sequence or the overall flow achha laga. short n sweet( or shall i say sour?? :d)..

A nice thought ...I kinda get the drift of what u mean by this post, and what this means to u....Sure,Ignorance is bliss..but a prolonged and excessive one can backfire... and yea, i agree tht one should never neglect one's own self,be it for any reason...

hi..nice blog u have here..u r from vesit it seems..but cant make who u are from ur id..me from vesit too,4th year..nice post this..n its completely obvious that u r a very unselfish person which is y ure bothering to justify even a lil bit of occasional selfishness :)i agree with wat u say
Ignoring stuff to be happy? I don't quite agree. I agree that everyone has flaws. Even our closest ones. And we do not ignore their flaws. We accept them. There's a huge difference.
Ignorance means lack of knowledge. That you don't something. So if you say we should ignore the difficulties in life it doesn't make sense really cos you're aware of those.
If you do not you have a problem, you'll obviously be happy. Here ignorance is bliss. But if you realise something is wrong and you choose to ignore it, that's fooling yourself.
Life is tough. You can never look away from the hardships. You have to look them in the eye and face them.
I never said one shd ignore problems,ignoring the difficulty of the problem can help..reduces the pressure on the person.Positive outlook is wat is necessary.Some people tend get really worked up over certain matters,in such a case dealing with every problem with a calm mind is needed,so v hav to look beyond the hurdles n solve the problem.
Ignoring flaws in people doesnt mean you think of the person to be perfect or flawless...it just helps build your capacity to adapt to a variety of people..ofcourse v have to accept the flaws in the people we r close to.
