It also means the presence of what is falsely supposed to be knowledge. In my own understanding, it’s the rejection of man to the truth because he doesn’t know what the truth is.

I never taught that a good act may become evil, but there is a follow-up phrase, by reason of circumstances. So, a good act may become evil by reason of circumstances and by circumstances we mean, the situation in the present time. As far as I know, this is always been done by people who doesn’t have enough awareness in a particular area he or she currently stay. This good act that may become evil could be considered as an extrinsic act where the act which is in itself is not evil but is now evil on account of something.
I thoroughly searched how a good act may become an evil act and I found out that it becomes evil when you feel you do something good and you are proud of it but in the other side, you’ve just broken a law without further notice. For instance, you saw street children in the sidewalk in Manila, and then, due to your compassionate heart, you gave them coins as your alms to him and you feel great about it. It is good to your side, but it is bad for the community, because you have no assurance that the money you’ve just gave would be spent for food. You gave alms to make you feel better from the pity in your heart; your money, although given with good intentions, just might encourage children to commit crime and make their parents lazy. Children should not beg, they should be in school studying, be with their parents who would take care for them. If you truly wish to do good,

    It was a few years ago when I was young and wise, that someone my age but older stood and claimed jubilantly, "Ignorance is Bliss", the wonderfully dreadfully, perfect mistake people make. What is so blissful about not knowing, better yet, purposely not wanting to know truth? The idea that Ignorance is Bliss makes sense to most, I mean, yeah, the truth can hurt but think about it. Removing a band-aid fast is far better than doing so in a slow and agonizingly painful manner. The difference with knowing is that pain is temporary, pain is understood, pain shapes the future.…

    Ignorance can stifle learning, especially if the ignorant person believes that they are not ignorant. A person who falsely believes he or she is knowledgeable will not seek out clarification of his or her beliefs, but rather rely on his or her ignorant position. He or she may also reject valid but contrary information, neither realizing its importance nor understanding it. This concept is elucidated in Justin Kruger's and David Dunning's work, "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments," otherwise known as…

    Growing up, we all heard the contradictory expressions, “Ignorance is bliss,” as well as the statement “Knowledge is power,” but is either one more true than the other? The truth is that they are both true to a point. Though ignorance can be blissful and prevent the sorrows that come with the knowledge of the universe, it can also be harmful and can prevent the marvels of the human race such as innovation, curiosity, and many other traits that make the human race the skilled, intelligent species we are. Conversely, though, knowledge can be harmful. If one was to know everything, their life would be misery as the burden of omniscience, knowing everything of life, death, and all that will come - the past, present, and future - would be enough to drive anyone mad.…

    A common definition of miseducation usually implies to educate, teach, or inform someone wrongly. In an online dictionary , the example sentences highlight the risks of miseducating children, or the problem of kids who do not learn what they are suppose to, or even the fact that it is unfair to students to confuse and not inform them correctly about the world. In this sense, miseducation seems to be based on the inaccurateness and incorrectness of scholarship, as a result of poor education or the lack of good schooling. On the other hand, education is by and large defined positively. In the same dictionary, it means an enlightening experience, a body of knowledge as well as a process of receiving and giving instruction.…
