Krishna UdayasankarIt is easier to not know than to not comprehend, for not knowing implies that the world is large, and that is a fact. Not comprehending is a far more personal fault.
About This Quote
The definition of ignorance is the lack of knowledge or information. It can also be defined as a state of unawareness, not knowing. The idea is that you are in the state of "not knowing" in which case you are not in control. The consequence is that you do not know how to act in the situation, and if the situation changes or gets worse, then you will be at a loss.
The idea is that when one does not understand something then it's hard to act. How do you get out of this situation? By taking it back to the definition of ignorance, one has an option of not comprehending it or if one does not get out of this situation by not knowing, then it’s better to know rather than not knowing.
