"Ignorance and inconsideration are the two great causes of the ruin of mankind"

- John Tillotson

About this Quote

This quote by John Tillotson talks to the concept that the damage of humanity is caused by two main elements: ignorance and inconsideration. Lack of knowledge is specified as a lack of knowledge or understanding, and inconsideration is specified as a lack of thought or look after others. Together, these two characteristics can result in devastating effects.

Lack of knowledge can cause people making choices without comprehending the effects of their actions. This can result in individuals making choices that are not in their best interest, or that are damaging to others. Inconsideration can result in people not considering the needs of others, or not thinking of the potential consequences of their actions. This can lead to individuals making choices that are self-centered or that are destructive to the wellness of others.

When these two traits are combined, they can lead to an absence of understanding and empathy for others, which can cause a neglect for the rights and requirements of others. This can result in a breakdown of social order and a neglect for the law, which can eventually cause the damage of mankind. For that reason, it is very important to be familiar with the potential consequences of lack of knowledge and inconsideration, and to make every effort to be more educated and considerate in our actions.
