OH YEAH! thats why when your a kid your happy as hell and then reality hits at different times for different people but its a slap in the face at how sad it is. I used to say that I was moving to canada, just because people seemed happier there was not so much negativity on the news-and no its not because of their slackness on drugs and medicine! Its depressing what our world has come to. Why do you think women abused by they others are still with them because they choose to be ignorant so they can be happy for those brief moments with their others. I agree completely

Only if what you thought you knew came from Playstation or the Disney Channel. Only in reality can life bestow any lasting rewards.

you know, i used to think that ignorance is bliss. but the more i got in depth with life, i realize that being ignorant is a way of me escaping the harshness of reality, escaping my insecurity, and escaping the fear of truly growing up as a person. sometimes the unknowing comes bites me in the a** and left me shocked, painful, and hurt.
so however much it hurts, i'd rather know. know and then figure out a way out of it, or solve it. it does help much with the proccess of personal growth.

yes, but once you learn to accept reality, and the fact that life goes on, olus the fact that you cant always change things, it gets better and easier to cope with everyday issues.

Almost as blissful as an alcoholic haze.

Dreadfuly, that is true. The more you know, the more you see the world is not how it should be, and that's depressing

Only for those who need it (illusion). Life is melancholic. In the struggle we find poignancy, in the struggle we find heroism. The alternative is abyss..................

yes, but keep hope strong and you can make the world better, rather than letting the world make you worse
