People say that ignorance is bliss. I agree with that. But, I bet that complete knowledge is bliss too. I don’t know for sure because nobody has ever known everything. Every year, millions voluntarily explore the “ignorance” end of the spectrum and can verify the happiness associated with it. But, nobody has ever tried omniscience to see how it suits them. I bet it’s a happy place. I think it’s the in-between, partial knowledge that makes a person miserable. Unfortunately, that is exactly where humanity currently stands as a species. We know a lot, but we don’t know everything. We know how to completely re-adjust a child’s jaw with headgear but we can’t figure out how to keep the other kids from making fun of them when they wear it. We can put a man on the moon, but we can’t provide ourselves with a government credible enough for everyone to believe that they put a man on the moon. We can create The Shawshank Redemption, but we can’t prevent Tokyo
