You can't bury your head in the sand forever and pretend nothing is wrong. Eventually, all things become clear, whether good or bad.

And your point is?

Ignorance is bliss!!

Yes-said consciance.

"... your mind's freedom to think or not [is] the only will you have, your only freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your life and your character." [1]

To wish not to know, to wish to remain ignorant, is death. It may be the death of your spirit, though you live to 100. Or it may be a quick and painless death, or quick and extremely painful.

But knowledge, as painful as THAT can sometimes be, is still not the death of the your spirit. "For each of us there is a moment of discovery..." and for some of us that is the moment when we grow. For others, it is the erection of a wall that may never come down.

Not to know, can happen because it's never entered your mind. Not to wish to know, I compare this to dying slowly. Or at the stage of an animal, even some animals are quite swift!

If we have no desire to know....we have no curiosity or motivation in life...are we really living?

Willingful ignorance is weakness....gots to be STRONG YA ALL!

but would you like to know in the first place, then to find out you must ask
