Blissful Ignorance

So…this post has a broad variety of applications.  The state of blissful ignorance that many of us have become accustomed to relates to anything and everything in everyday life.

An example of blissful ignorance that I have observed is that which relates to death.  No matter what, in our current world, it is guaranteed that everyone will die, and many people die on a daily basis.  This  is an acceptable form of ignorance because the human mind couldn’t take a constant state of looking at everyone as if they are already dead.  The only problem is that when those close to us die, this ignorance is shattered for a certain amount of time before and/or after the said death.

The human ability to decide to be ignorant is a “blessing” I will call it.  If us fragile humans would fully understand all of the harsh constant truths of reality at all times, our physical bodies wouldn’t be able to handle this burden for long.  I fully understand I am blissfully ignorant about many things most of the time, and I am happy because of that.  Some are more ignorant than others, and it is sad to say that those that are most ignorant are generally happier with their lives.  Reality is a somber thing to think about, so it makes sense that those that never consider anything that doesn’t have to do with what they are doing in that moment would be happier with their lives.  I want to have more of the “live in the moment” mentality like these people, but still be able to not be as blissfully ignorant as most.  The sad part about this is that I don’t think there is much compromise when it comes to a topic like this.  I have always been a “forward” thinker and living with that mentality prevents much blissful “in the moment” ignorance, not saying that it can’t happen, just not too often.

I honestly didn’t even edit anything I just wrote above, so it may not even make sense or follow a simple thought pattern, but I’m going to leave it.

I have another goal for myself:

3. Try to live in the moment.
