ETYMOLOGICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEGINNER AND IGNORANT

Both represent an action being present participle of a verb.
Present participle, that is, something that is here now but that can change beginner be-
ginner sm and f. [part. pres. to begin].
- Those who are just starting out in learning an artistic or craft technique, a trade or any
other kind of job. Ignorant ignorant adj. and sm and f. [from Lat. ignorans -antis, part.
pres. to ignore «ignore»].
- Who does not know a specific subject, who is wholly or partly unfamiliar with a cer-
tain complex of notions Both suggest an unpreparedness about a particular moment.
The difference is in the action they hide ...
Beginning means starting to follow a path, ignoring means not being aware that that
particular path exists.
Too often we use words to discredit those around us, so if ignoring retains within itself
the power of knowing and the Principare retains within itself the power to change into
a deeper knowledge, the human being has negatively marked Both terms...
Are you a beginner or are you ignorant to refute the inadequacy of a subject in a situa-
tion.
Yet we are all beginners and ignorant, but none of us stop to look at the effort of lear-
ning (a term that I will describe tomorrow)
