Mental Fortitude
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
WTF is this 💩?
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. Ignoring someone means that you don’t want anything to do with them. At least that’s how I take it to mean. Anyway, I have better things to attend to. I need to stop letting myself get distracted by shiny objects.
Ignoring Someone You Are Attracted To Is Common — Here’s Why
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.

Meaning of ‘The Sound of Silence’ by ‘Disturbed’
The song “The Sound of Silence” by Disturbed is a powerful rendition of Simon & Garfunkel’s classic hit. It speaks of alienation, the loss of genuine communication, and the deep chasms created by our society’s reliance on superficial interactions. With its haunting delivery, Disturbed adds a layer of urgency and depth, turning the song into a brooding anthem for the disconnected.

The Profound Meaning Behind Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”
“The Sound of Silence” comes to a close with a warning, pointedly calling out the all-consuming consumerism and using those already lost to it as an example of what’s to come if we continue to find solace in the silence. And the people bowed and prayed / To the neon god they made / And the sign flashed out its warning / In the words that it was forming / And the sign said, “The words of the prophets / Are written on the subway walls / And tenement halls / And whispered in the sounds of silence.”
