Ignorance

I met a very polite, yet clearly ignorant person the other day.

Ignorance is bad.

You should know everything about everyone. 

Everything. 

About people you've never even met. Situations you've never been in.

You should know it all.

Why?

Because you should. 

You offend someone... making an assumption... a logical one.... you deserve to be punished for being wrong. 

Simple, you should know it all.

See me on the street? Never seen a girl in a wheelchair before?

Or maybe, Jennifer... Remember her? 

You were 12, she was ..... a little slow. 

So you talk to me the way you talk to her... Should I be mad?

Am I mad? Am I wrong to be mad? is it your fault? Is it my fault?

It's your fault it, it must be!

Or is it mine?

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. 

How to react? What to say? Who to blame?

To blame someone, I mean, shouldn't I?

Someone is always to blame.

Maybe it's me?

It is me. 

It must be me.

Irrationally vigilant and overly analytical
