The guy who said "Ignorance is a Bliss" must have 'known it all'. Ignorance indeed is a bliss. Agreed that knowledge does bring power but then like all good things it has its own setbacks....
On our path to "attain" knowledge, we, invariably, have to cross those dangerous terrains called "moments of truth" . These are the moments where the words start flowing from the person 'imparting' that elusive knowledge to us.
Words, which can shatter our whole belief System. Words, which make us realize that may be the people around us are not what they seem to be. Words, which could lead us to question the whole existence of anything and everything around us.
It would really be foolish of us to think that all the "knowledge" is infact NEEDED by us. Coz not every little revelation is a happy one and not every heartfelt confession is a memorable you see. Some knowledge is best tagged as "Worlds Best Kept Secret". In our quest to know more, we might end up having some serious doubts about the credibility of the things that we Already Know.
Our "Belief System" or rather, I would like to refer it to as our "Survival System" epends on OUR perception of things, people, incidents, happenings, surroundings..... So what fun is it that we let our system crumble and collapse merely under the pressure of things that may not be too pleasant to know.
But on a second thought, what we already know may not be the true version of the entire story. Our perception of things need not necessarily be the right one. Blame it on our inexperience, smartness of the other person in concealing it, or barely our foolishness. But the bottom line is that the truth is not what we know. The truth is hidden somewhere else, in someone's memories, someone's heart, someone's mind... And we know that for sure. We know that what we know is not what it is !!!! Period.
So where does this quest stop ? Do we go for a kill and dig out the whole trut ? Or do we let the buried skeletons rest in peace ? But then again, doesn't it change the concept of "truth" ? Doesn't it become subjective? What I know is my truth, what you know is your truth ? Is that how is should be ? So what is truth after all ? And a million dollar question -> Do we REALLY need to know it ?
