Let The Truth Be Told

Today has been a most interesting day. Have you ever been in a predicament where you think something is going on behind your back, or have the feeling like you don't know thewhole story... My feelings all came to a head today when I found out that I didn't know the exact truth about a particular subject. It was with a young lady. Well, so I did the wrong thing (or did I?) and ask the question again, and I got the same answer I got the first time. I then got a call after two hours of going back and forth on the phone giving me the truth, or near truth. Now, the question is this. Can you trust someone who has lied to you before. A wise man by the name of H-Dub always told me, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." I'm trying hard not to get to that 2nd fool me. Brings up another topic, is Ignorance really Bliss?

"Ignorance is Bliss." To some this is a true statement. I'm the type of person that would rather know, and then just move on from that point. You always hear people say, "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to." Maybe I'm just dumb to always ask those questions. It just seems too simple. Someone asks a question, and you answer it truthfully. Is the world forever doomed to live in a "fake" world where you don't know what truth is. Don't know who someone really is, don't know who you really are? That's deep. I guess the choice is really yours. But I guess it depends on the person too. I like to keep it "real", so I expect the same in return. Simple.

I might as well "keep it real" to myself then. I'm going to be honest... it's all true. Ignorance is bliss. What you don't know, won't hurt you. It's sad that it had to be this way, but it's true. You can worry about things all you want, but as long as you don't know the truth, it won't hurt you. Maybe if I just let things go sometimes and don't go down rabbit holes, I'll be in a much happier state right now.

  1. its wierd...i was just having a conversation about ignorance being bliss on friday. don't be blinded, bliss is a fallacy, a fabrication of happiness. ignorance is not bliss -- truth is freedom. don't misconstrue the two.
