In our daily lives, we deal with some phenomena which, superficially and mistakenly, are considered completely destructive. One of such phenomena is ignorance. On account of various circumstances or situations, it is not only destructive. It is destructive and/or constructive. It constitutes a relieving and/or devastating phenomenon in moral, social, political, economic, religious, psychological and other domains. This situation is depicted in the following sections of this work: ignorance can stabilize some relationships; ignorance can protect the innocent; ignorance can shield moral principles or standards; the protection of churches' stability by ignorance; ignorance can stabilize families in terms of scandals, etc; ignorance can shield sects and related groups; arrogance and a sense of superiority can be bred and encouraged by ignorance; ignorance slows down female or women's dynamism and desire to progress or prosper; knowledge acquisition through written materials in libraries can be obstructed by ignorance; leadership can be damaged by ignorance; ignorance can destroy a country's image and future; ignorance can keep Christians in a blackout; etc.
