ignorance is bliss
the word "ignorance," though, connotes a level of intention
it isn't simply being unaware
it is, to some extent, choosing not to avail oneself to a particular piece of knowledge
this is what allows us to achieve bliss
selectively, though passively, filtering what we allow to enter our sphere
the same way we avoid animals and foods to which we have allergies, we can steer clear of harmful information in order to preserve our mental health
lesson: some things are better left unknown.
I appreciate you simple intelligence
