Ignorance

Many people are ignorant. I've known people who think that they can watch dirty movies and still maintain sexual sensitivity. I've even known people who think that they can listen to 110 decibel music for hours on end and keep their hearing.

And believe it or not, I've even met people who barely passed a one semester course in a religion with texts translated from a language they didn't know and thought that they understand the basic tenents of that religion.
