In the beginning according to the bible when Adam and Eve were created everything was in perfect harmony. Until Humans disobeyed God and they suddenly became concious that they were being unclothed all along and got embarrassed by it. Now i believe this is an example where ignorance is bliss. I dont care how you see this story as whether youre a religious or non religious but i hope you see the metaphor in the story. Mans knowledge can be its own downfall. If you were not given choices and only led to believe one thing... it may not be democracy... but if there is no stress, no sadness, no anxiety .... would freedom to choose be a high price to pay for in a perfect world?
an idea which was also expressed in the book The Giver by Lois Lowry...
Im just saying what i think... it is democracy afterall and everyone have the right to information.

Not possible, human nature would never be able to sustain it. Nothing could ever come close in reality.

While I agree that ignorance CAN BE bliss, I think a world without free will would be a pretty boring place.

So your suggesting freedom from thought, so we can live in a stress free utopia, right?
Maybe you have summed up the very center piece of religious thought!

If I understand what you are saying, to me choice is freedom and I learned that from an answer on here. Picture yourself as a black slave in a plantation with no choice, no freedom, ?????

Congratulations on figuring that out. Now tell me, Is your god a psychopath?
Two people ate his apple and he cursed whole mankind and destroyed 65 villages and raped 80000 women for it in O.T.
Hmmm...

If Adam and Eve in their ignorance did not even know they were naked, they certainly wouldn't of known to have kids.

There are no right and wrong answers because you didn't ask any right and wrong questions.
Everybody should get good information, but be sure it's true, an it helps if it's somewhat understandable.

I don't know what to say but I agree freedom complicates things and the more you know what you can have and do the more painful it is to not have and do those things.
