31

Ignorance is bliss.
Have truer words been spoke? I fear not.
That then begs the question; Why so do we seek out the answers to all, when our blissful ignorance is what broadens our dazed smiles, and alights colours a shade brighter?
Do we fear ignorance, for knowledge only of it's potential detriment, it's underlying threat; the harsh abrupt truth; lying in wait?
But is that to say, we should not relish in ignorance?
I may have believed so, once, but my lessons in life have brought me here.
To a place where ignorance is appreciated, rare, and gently guarded.
It is not wallowed in, nor is it eradicated.
It is appreciated for what it is' the bittersweet moments before inevitability strikes, and life intervenes.
It is to say... Appreciate knowledge, for it is your saviour in the dark.
Appreciate ignorance, for it is your moment in the light.
Appreciate those brief moments in which knowledge exists in stark white light; in a rather optimistic grounding, far removed from the pessimistic label applied to realism.
Appreciate those golden moments of clarity, and see them, as all things, for what they are;
A good truth, among few.
Ignorance is bliss; Indeed.
However, as is knowledge, if perceived correctly.
To find bliss; It is only a matter of knowing which mentality to choose, and when.
Knowledge and Ignorance; the bountiful foundations of unadulterated bliss.
