    Obliviousness is the mental state of being oblivious, generally understood to mean "a state of being unmindful or unaware of something, of being ignorant or not conscious of its existence". Obliviousness differs from unconsciousness in that the oblivious person is conscious, and could or should be aware of the things of which they remain unaware. A state of obliviousness may be intentionally sought by those wishing to avoid acknowledging or dealing with surrounding realities. In fiction and literature, obliviousness is often used for comedic effect.
