Our ignorance makes us scared and worried without a good reason

There are a lot of fears in our mind, and we worry for many things. Our ignorance makes us scared and worried without a good reason. Sometimes, we don’t really need to worry too much like that, but [this is] our nature to worry about things. We do things without a good reason or correct understanding, which lead to a lot of troubles in our life. When we are ignorant, we do not know what we are really doing and whether or not those things are good and bring happiness to us. Sometimes, ordinary people like us are actually confused and because of that, our actions are also very impure that create many negative and unhappy things. Therefore, we need to be smart or clear about things: What kind of things should be done and what kind of things should not be done. It’s very important and because of that reason we are studying Dharma and we are practicing Dharma.
