“Of the 7 billion human beings alive today, no one wants to suffer; no one chooses to have problems. Yet, many of the problems we face are our own creation. Why? Because of ignorance. But ignorance is not permanent and whether we overcome it depends on whether we make the effort.”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

I think this wisdom refers to those who remain ignorant by choice. The choice to remain ignorant is accompanied by and attached to fear.
Oh okay. That is a different matter altogether.
