I would far rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils

I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.

The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.

My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

He makes the worthless, knowledgeable.
