That can be true. Ignorance is bliss, right?


If someone goes about life without a single worry in the world, they will be happy as long as their bubble of ‘safety’ remains intact.


But, that’s not sustainable.


They will be living in a delusion.



The fact is that there are a lot of hard lessons and hardships that we’ll experience in life.


Ignoring reality will only be a ticking time bomb to a rude awakening.


Never worrying about crime will eventually cause someone to be a victim of crime.


Never thinking about money will likely cause financial hardship.


Never thinking about health will lead to illness and disease.


Being ignorant of those things do not make them go away.


Unless someone is being sheltered and insulated from the outside world for their entire life, sh*t is going to hit the fan eventually, and they will be happier if they are prepared and know how to handle it.

Otherwise, their untested mental fortitude will crumble and they may spiral out of control and suffer much more than they would had they not been so sheltered and insulated from the outside world.

You don't want to be oblivious to things but also know so much that it makes you fearful to go anywhere or depresses you.
