Ignorance is bliss

The little boy sat on the ledge, wondering about the point of existence. He could find no answers to the questions that rattle his brain and heart equally everyday. The more he thought the deeper he cast himself into the chasm of loneliness. Ignorance, the greatest bliss know to mankind had long deserted him. However, knowledge offered him no comfort. The truth was a burden which he wouldn't have inflicted on his worst enemy had he gotten the chance to do so. The myriad of people who go on in life without asking themselves why, these were the people he evnied. Their lives were free from the questions that plagued him everyday. Acceptance, even blid acceptance, can give purpose to a soul. This acceptance is what drives people forward. He did not accept, did not conform, had nothing to conform with. He was alone, alone in his own world where all rules were breakable, flexible and even non- existent. But this lack of rules was not exhilarating. Constraints are the challenges we work against. We impose constraints at times to make life more difficult and challening. Sometimes they are imposed by society. Sometimes by the individual. The constant battle against these constraints and the potential vitory over them drives people forward.

philosopher 1:what do u think is it good to live life in ignorance or knowing everything ?

philosopher 2:ignorance
.
philosopher 1 :i dont think ignorance is good people are ignorant and life is too long to live ignorant .moreover once u know all this lifes is easier for you.You can free yourself from jealousy ,anger and regret.

philosopher 2:haha........i know....ive figured out all the stuff that goes on.why it goes on , its such a sucking feeling .

philosopher 1 :wether god is there or not u should know one thing its all subjective ,you define everything for your self if you can understand this thing u can achieve calmness .

philosopher2: define...true...u can define anything..but can u live what u define?? your stuck with societys definition...of ignorance....that every man must work..must pray...stupid rules..for stupid people..


philosopher1:what ever they do they cant enter your brain and change your views and convictions,if you have to be ignorant then be the ignorant of second order Ignorent of second order is one who believes ,because he knows what ever he belives will only matter , rather believe just like that
society wont matter you decide your friends also and can choose to ignore what others say.

philosopher2:no,..you see...being ignorant of the second order....is idealistically possible..do u really think u can just beleive in what u beleive....u think u wont be effected by society..thats foolish..

philosopher1:see ignorant of first order has to be lucky that his illusion never gets broken while second order ignorant will say even i was wrong it was my feeling at that time matter .

philosopher2:but...similar thoughts..fitting in...these are the goals of humans..to fit in....therefore they will ignorantly accept society

philosopher1:if u worry ignorant people are happy then happines doesnt have any value in this world .What does being happy means . Its just a feeing,just like sand droping in a hourglass ,you cant store it .Feelings are random you can even program your brain to feel one thing or the other.

philosopher2:being happy..yes..il tell u....being happy..is nothing but the absence of pain.. yepp..pain is the only real thing...humans live to avoid pain......every living thing lives to avoid pain..pains of hunger....etc..
and if ignorance makes a guy avoid pain..then why not..best
pain is thr...avoiding pain..tht will make ppl do stuff
pain is the great driving force pain of poverty..makes man work.....pain of going to jail..prevents crimes..pain of hunger..makes him eat...

philosopher1:have you never made a piece of work while never thinking of pain at all

philosopher2:we dont think actively of it....but were afraid deep within that it will come to us if we screwup.
