Ignorance

As a depression sufferer I have too often heard "I've never had it so I don't know".

When a situation occurs and a person recognizes they are ignorant about a topic, usually the person will educate themselves about said topic. Except (of course) if it has to do with mental illness.

For some reason, sufferers of mental illness are mandated to educate the rest of the world about their plight.

The worse part of it all is that in today's communication age, there's no reason to justify ignorance about ANYTHING. Anyone claiming ignorance over any other topic (than mental illness) would not be taken seriously, they would be told to inform themselves.

The responsibility of education lies on the ignorant.
