Ignorance is bliss?

I heard this countless times and sometimes I believe it’s true. Some things in life are better ignored than getting oneself worrying too much. However, recently I have different thought all together. I begin to see that ignorance is not bliss and most times it will only make things worse.

Just think about health issue. If we ignore a symptom or a problem with our health, it doesn’t mean the problem will just go away. For worst case scenario, the problem will even get worse without proper treatment and over time it’s causing major problem.  But just by knowing you have a problem, it’s a troubling thought. You start to think more and more about it. You start wishing you don’t even want to know at the first place. On the other hand, you know you just can’t ignore the truth and there’s no running away from it. It’s a common dilemma in life.

I wish life is simpler. I wish I know all the answers to all problems. I wish things will be better and everything will turn out to be good. But the truth is…nothing is going according to plan or wish. As a matter of fact, nothing works for me so far…
