Questions You Would Rather Never Know The Answer To.
April 22, 2016 at 8:29 pm
Is there anything you would rather never know? Are there any questions you would rather never know the answer to?

In which cases is ignorance bliss to you? If ever?

I personally can't think of anything except... I probably don't want to know how I'm going to die and when it will be.

Bismarck supposedly said „Je weniger die Leute wissen, wie Würste und Gesetze gemacht werden, desto besser schlafen sie!“

The less people know about how sausages and laws are made, the better they sleep.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

"Who at work only pretends to like me?"
"Who in my family only pretends to like me?"
"Which of my children like me the least?"
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Did my wife's ex partners have a bigger willy than me?
Does she think about them when we are having it off?
Do the kids drink my beer or have I forgotten how many I've drunk??
Did my mother regret the day she conceived me?

Not actually viewing a restaurant kitchen comes to mind.

Other than that, I'm not sure. Not knowing when I die seems like a valid not needing to know issue. As well as not knowing what the future holds in general. If it's bad, there's the danger of topping myself.

"Is there anything you would rather never know the answer to?"

Yes, but considering Vorlie is a member here, I'm not telling what it is.

Well, if you knew when you died that date would probably change right on the spot, so makes no sense not to wish to know that, in fact it could help to prevent it numerous times in a row.

I sometimes wish I wasn't so smart. I don't know if that's the answer you were looking for, but yeah.
