Sometimes I believe that ignorance is bliss.... but I couldn't live that way.

Knowledge for me

I am about to quote a religious doctrine, so please excuse my interjection but, Genesis,III,22

god talking)"behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever." Certainly we have the ability to put forth our hands and take the tree of life. Be not ashamed of your knowledge but speak softly of that fruit's taste. It got the last couple a new zip code outside Eden. dudly

P.S. Go to heaven for the climate or hell for the company(I live in between).

I know I will be unhappy about knowing I don't know what would make me unhappy when I can choose to know what would make me unhappy yet I choose not to know so I can be happy.

I probably wouldn't want to know the exact date of my own death, for example. Although it's hard to say ... given the opportunity of finding out, perhaps not knowing would drive me nuts.

But just think, if you knew it, you could bet someone you'd die on such n such day, and win lots of.....

....wait a minute.
