How many times do we fall into the trap of the mind and dare to judge
someone or something without knowing the real truth about the person or
the situation. Being aware of one’s own truth is the first step towards
making fair judgements and decisions, and we need to empty our mind to let
go of all misconceptions and wrong perceptions. We need to make our mind
open and available to take things as they really are, like me I have a lot of
experiences or moment of ignorance that I will never forget because that
ignorance formed my life as an individual. The ignorance that made me
laugh when I think of it is that, when we went to the Bibo Amusement
Arcade in SM City that was my first time I went to bibo and played various
games and the funny moment that I will never forget is that when I tried
riding the 3D glasses I really amazed the graphic and the concept of that
game. It made me think of how it works and what are the process to make
that kind of amazing and very wondrous game, I was really ignorant of what
I saw of that moment and it caught my attention as an innocent person.
 The goal is to become master of myself, so constant and at ease with
myself that I can truly feel compassion for anyone and free to the darkness
of suffering. If there is any measure of greatness, it is a person’s ability to
feel compassion that measure of compassion indicates to what extent one is
master of oneself. Much of what attracts and repels other people is
nonverbal, our thoughts and dispositions manifest themselves in the way we
nonverbally project ourselves. There are many ways that lead us into
liberation that I can freely move to make myself a better person, indeed to
be an independent woman. In life is such a choice of choosing into freedom
for us to feel free and knowing the truth of humanity it may be difficult for
us to challenge ourselves to be real in our self. Everything has a process to
work on in our daily life for making us more flexible in our environment not
just too freely living but just to seek our own happiness and freedom. For
me personally, I do love working anything that I can show effort and have a
processes to follow because here we can measure our abilities that we have
not yet developed as a normal people. Because we cannot say something
that we are good at when there is no process that must show everyone what
and how we can achieve the things we did not achieve before. Being a
resourceful is a way of reaching out my fear and suffering to that darkness
that I usually afraid of, and made me an ignorant person. By that, I used to
it as my strength to fight my right it not just to showcase my ability but to
let go my ignorance rather than an innocent person.

The truth that I discovered is that when you letting yourself to be an

ignorant that is your choice but to stop that matter you should be observant
and know your limit just little by little to do what you want to do that you
have not done yet. I realized that being a silent person is not good for us
people to make this as a habit because too much of ignorance can lead us
into miserable life and no one can trust us because of that. Let us embrace
everything that belong to us for our good that people do not step on and be
a model to young people like us who have ignorance experienced. Trusting
ourselves is the best way to make our life more reliable and to make other
people think that we can stand on our own two feet not only to fight our
ignorance but also to give meaning to ignorance to live in the truth. I
disappoint myself to know the truth because anyone of us has a hardship to
letting ourselves to know the truth. Because we, as a human we really have
a personality that does not immediately believe what other people say
because we want to follow our beliefs which is not right. As a person I do not
really believe in what people say but I myself have witnessed that it is not
right that in all situations you only believe in yourself but we believe in other
people around us like our family and relatives but we must limit and be
careful to choose people to trust and believe in. It made me as a good
person as if I am now because here I will witness that I can be damned for
being ignorant of things that I have not tried before but I have seen what
and how to do. But because of that it enlightens my life to be not just too
silent but to be a funny one sometimes because being cheerful brings
productivity and wise as an individual because our world is now gradually
becoming a digital world because of high technology used by people. And
also my perspective on things changed that I still have to try and explore
before I can no longer apply being ignorant but being resourceful that I can
use now because an ignorant person is one who doesn’t know what you have
just found out.
