Day Two Hundred and Seventy-Eight, October 4th, 2024 Prompt Soup #0.57

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

Hi – ho and hello!

Topics, topics, topics!

I am definitely an opinionated person, I definitely have my thoughts and my ideas that run along the myriad of what life is. However, it likely would surprise one to hear me support ignorance.

A long while ago I had a cousin who quoted a movie and as the younger person with an irrational inkling to wanting to argue calls her out on being an idiot. The quote was this:

“Ignorance is bliss.”

For anybody who isn’t positive about the quote and what it comes from, it is the movie The Matrix.

Now my cousin at the time was spirited, irrational, young, and abrasive with her everything. And I loved her for it she was a reckless firecracker That never back down and was always willing to fight when the cause was worth it. And to anybody wondering why I’ve talked past sense about this person, they are not dead, they just don’t play a very functional attribute to my life any longer.

So the matter of fact was this, my cousin and I we were talking about life and just the chaos that we were seeing happen around us. Getting called racist names for f*** all, it’s not as though anybody knew who I was or my cousin was. We were the people under the stairs at school, the kids in the corner that stay to themselves. And personally I liked it that way I didn’t want people encroaching on my life or having to deal with the lambasting b******* of the high school living, it wasn’t ever a thing that was an attraction to me. More or less I just didn’t like people but I enjoyed knowledge.

Anyhow I can’t remember what it was that had happened that called to my cousin saying ignorance was Bliss but I was Ford, flummoxed at this idiotic phrasing to something that didn’t fit with our time, we were in school we were gaining knowledge and gaining everything we could to reach further in our lives to come. Regardless of what was going on to me I found this idiotic and told her I felt that way. We thought, argued, and certainly hated one another for the reason that our idea is at this time didn’t fit one another.

And I’m pretty sure looking back at it it’s likely the start of the ending of the relationship I have with my cousin. But now as an adult, as a parent and a married man I agree ignorance is bliss and I’d rather not know the s*** I know now. I wish I can have a simpler life with less b******* and less drama and less lies in my life but secrets apparently means something different to everybody and with that I agree ignorance is bliss, it keeps you unharmed.
