because out of ignorance, one indulges in actions?

but the understanding of "ignorance" in consideration with the OP, is more along the lines of ignorance of truths that would likely make one's perception of the world more negative (as opposed to buddhism). For instance, if you knew the world was going to end tomorrow, would you not be less happy than someone who had no idea this would occur? Is someone who doesn't know the troubles of the world more blessed than one who does?

Near Trenton, right? boooo
Well, hey, I bet you don't have to drive an hour out to hit a mall up haha.

I was referring to mainly unconscious ignorance - that is, not being aware of one's nature, and so creating suffering through ego identification.

Oh okay, I'm not sure if I'm too familiar with that concept; would ego identification be referring to the ego as if it were the true self, and therefore seeking to please it (indulging in pleasures of the senses)?

aha right on the money; our boardwalks get swarmed with 13-year old girls with shorts so short that the pockets dangle out, and there's no room to surf in the water.
Well, at least the scenery there is nice
