Ignorance is Bliss

This proverb is horribly misunderstood.

We wish to forget, and envy those that do not know, whatever is troubling us. Alternatively, those with little mental ability do appear to be happy. That isn’t wrong, per se, which is why it’s so often misinterpreted. They simply don’t worry.

Happiness Is For Ordinary People

Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness to swiftly flies. Thought would destroy their paradise, No more; where ignorance is bliss, ‘Tis folly to be wise. – Thomas Gray

I was just recommended the following video and had to look the topic up as I had never heard of this. Sounds like playing mind games to me.

I need to stop letting myself get distracted by shiny objects.

Dr. Jess O’Reilly, Toronto-based sexologist and host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast, says that when a guy ignores you but secretly likes you, or when a girl tries to play it cool but she actually is developing feelings, it could be because they get a kick out of leaving you hanging. “Some people ignore their crushes because they’re playing games. And that doesn’t create a good basis for any type of relationship — from the casual to the long-term,” she tells Elite Daily. “Playing games by ignoring someone you like is untoward and manipulative, and it often results in misunderstanding and hurt feelings.”

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

I downloaded a couple of books by Eva Illouz to read. She was quoted in this article that I posted, earlier, and I was curious what she had to say. So far, it’s going slow because I keep getting distracted.
