Question: Is ignorance a necessity in life!?
I always see ignorance as a bad thing, it seems like it makes people blind to the truth and they are being stupid for ignoring facts!. However, now I'm trying to live life without being ignorant and that is proving to be extremely draining, it's not easy to see everything in as many perspectives as possible and i try not to jump to conclusions, but jeez I'm frustrated!.
The question that I'm wondering is, do we need some general ignorance in certain areas to live life more happily!? How do we live day to day life, without over thinking everything!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think a statement like "ignorance is bliss" is classic Nietzschean slave morality!. Powerful people want you to think that ignorance is better than knowledge!. The economically powerful provide us with exciting movies, professional sports, beautiful music in order to distract us from the realities that our lives suck and that we should be trying to make our lives better, rather than consuming their mindless entertainment!. Never, never be afraid of knowing too much!. Knowledge is power!. The more you know, the less people will be able to exploit you!. People like you take the elite's power away!. The more people we have like you, the fairer and more just our world will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
so much questions,
so much frustration,
so much wanting!.
simple sir, very simple
if i have an unanswered question,
i told myself, not now but in due time, in due time!
if i get frustrated at time,
i ask myself, where's my patience,and i laugh it off then move on!.
if i can't get what i want now, there is always a 'later'
i do agree that it is not easy,
simple yet not easy!.
