Ignorance is bliss? Some say it’s utter bullshit while some concur with the statement. As for me, I’m stuck in the middle — 50/50. I’ve come across things I wished I never found out nor witnessed on so many occasions. Things that can make or break your day, a message that can give you the pain of being kicked down a spiraling staircase or discovering something that sends your heart dropping. Some are even life changing. Friendships burned and even families torn, things that can inflict so much damage where its better off not knowing at all. But whether it’s the good, the bad or the ugly, it’s inevitable. The truth always comes out.
Are you protecting me from the lies or the truth? Why? Either way, it’s bound to hurt in the end. Ignorance is not bliss. Save the reluctance, hesitation, and excuses, please. I want your complete honesty, even if the cost are my feelings. Too often are my feelings and tolerance overestimated and my capability of adapting underestimated. I seek the truth and nothing less from it because I’m capable of handling it.
But what happens if the truth not only costs your feelings but also of your loved ones around you? When suddenly, the people you care about are also put on the line? Why let the truth out if you know it’s bound to hurt everybody involved? Ignorance is suddenly bliss, yeah?
Torn.
