During the birth of Jesus, there were the shepherds who did not know what was happening around them. They had no clue of what it was all about. Yet they were curious and their curiosity led them to the manger.
The three wise kings, on the other hand, knew of things to come and were eagerly looking forward to know it. They knew well that they did not know enough. So when they got the hint or the clue, they were more than eager to know it fully well. So they landed at the manger.
As for the rest of the population, they did not know and neither did they want to know. They were blissfully ignorant and perfectly contented in their state of ignorance. The question I asked myself this morning during the Mass: Which category do I belong to?
