Stubbornness = Ignorance?

In my opinion, stubbornness is a form of ignorance. [Or maybe it could be due to negative karma, but that’s not the point of this entry]

Stubbornness to hold onto your own views and opinions, even though it can be proven to be wrong. If something is happening in front of you, how can you still discount it and say it is false? It doesn’t make any sense to me. I can only infer that the failure to acknowledge the truth is due to ignorance. Ignorance of the right view of life. Ignorance of the Buddha Dharma.

If you are not ready to listen, the best that can happen is that seeds are planted. In the hope that they will bloom in future. In the future when the conditions are right for your to learn and realize the truth.
