Would you rather know "the truth" and be unhappy, or remain ignorant and be tranquil? You feel perhaps that you should boldly answer, "I prefer to know". How brave of you! But... are you also ready to face the consequences - usually unpleasant - of your "knowingness"? Think now about going on ignoring what you have been unaware of till now. Do you really need to be enlightened on the subject? Mind you, in becoming "enlightened", your peace of mind will be probably destroyed.
In choosing the second possibility you are certainly not alone. Most human beings prefer the easy way of ignorance because it helps them avoid thinking, facing problems, acknowledging reality. Only a handful make the first choice because the price to pay is too high. And... after all, who really "needs" to know it all?
