Does anyone else feel like the more they learn about fucked up history and current events the more we have to worry about? The older I get, and as I learn about history, the more things I have to think about that keep me up at night. Maybe ignorance is bliss after all?
Ignorance of the ignorable is bliss. Ignorance of the intrusive adds terror to injury. It’s an amplifier. In other words, if it doesn’t affect you personally, being able to ignore it makes it not part if your reality and unable to cause suffering. If it does affect you personally, you not only experience the problem but the terror of not understanding the problem.
I’m gonna remember this
“ignorance of the ignorable is bliss”
Very well put.
