Bliss

They say ignorance is bliss. I believe this to be true, if the ignorance is also true. If we as humans believe we do not know something, we will hunt it as an insatiable craze. Knowledge is an endless cavern full of jewels. At first we take a handful at the entrance to better our lives. But before we know it, curiosity catches up to us. We will continue to plunge forth into the dark cavern of jewels. Developing technologies such as torches to help guide our way. But there will come a point where we will venture too deep into the cavern. So deep in fact, that we will not be able to find our way back. So instead we carry on forward leaving and discarding jewels along the way. Having the fear of being trapped in this cavern give you adrenaline, and narrowing our mind and thoughts to one goal. Escape. Once we achieve this goal we will find bliss. But those who look back, those whose curiosity gets the better of them, will be doomed to repeat that same mistake. True Ignorance is difficult to sustain, that is to say bliss is difficult to achieve. Curiosity, fear, and determination help guide us away from such things as bliss. For one can not know what bliss is nor appreciate said bliss. If they have experienced and remember a time before such things. Those lucky few who truly have bliss, will never read this and many other works, will not be educated, will not know love, nor connection, those who have bliss will never know they have it, for they will not exist, at least in the same sense as you and I. They will only know the state they are in, and never advance further. The knowing that we need to improve is the limiter that puts bliss out of our reach. Bliss is worth it to those who know much more, but to those just learning bliss is a worthless disposable thing to make way for a greater meaning. There is no right collective answer. Just remember, you have the ability to forget what you know, and to learn what you’ve yet to learn.
