can't stand being in the dark, i never want to be one of those people who are happily idiotic

“For in much wisdom is much vexation, and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.” - Ecclesiastes 1:18 I can not stand the concept behind "ignorance is bliss".

i rather know where i stand than standing in the dark...and it depends on the situation..."knowledgable and sad" the latter defiantly depends on the situation/what kind of information was given...plus i think what you learn, whether how hurtful just makes you stronger in the long run.

It is just not the same, being knowledgable is a BIG word. How much can you know? How sad will you be? Someone with good knowledge can't be less happier then a naive person, a person with knowledge knows what everything is about, knows where to stand, with who and why. Doesn't search for reasons cause he knows why.

Life is tough any way you cut it. Better to live it for what it really is, than to try to make it a little bit easier by preserving a lie.

You have to realize that happiness and sadness are merely temporary emotional states.

At least you know. Take the book "The Giver" as a very classic example
