"Jonathon Seagull spent the rest of his days alone, but he flew way out beyond the Far Cliffs. His one sorrow was not solitude, it was that other gulls refused to believe the glory of flight that awaited them; they refused to open their eyes and see. He learned more each day... What he had once hoped for the Flock, he now gained for himself alone; he learned to fly, and was not sorry for the price that he had paid." (Richard Bach)

Is Ignorance Bliss?
It seems like the more I know about these things, the more I NEED to know about these things, thus making me work that much harder:
school
religion
food additives
healthcare
politics
...the list goes on.
Really, life would be easier if I could just live in ignorance. I guess that's like living without a conscience though, isn't it? Ugh.
All my neighbors live in bliss well ignorance that is. Ignorance of others feelings, thoughts, lives... They play their music at all hours at the loudest their radio could play. They run their r.v.'s all day around the streets and get mad when you try to drive a car out? I just don't get it. But I guess I have a conscience. And they most certainly do not. Don't do it! Don't live in ignorance.....its really annoying....at least to others, maybe not you?

It seems to be working for the vast majority of people, doesn't it? Why not us? ;)
I'm not sure it is bliss. It is definitely easy!
