What you don't know...

Greetings to my audience. (How be it ever so small)

I've received feed back that people like my blog because I write something thought provoking and not just what's been happening in my life. Well, I don't know about that but I don't mind saying that life is busy, being single is exhausting, and so is homework. Now, on to the good stuff.

I was asked in a comment from my last past to exhort on the line, "What you don't know won't hurt you." Well, this is an interesting jaunt into the metaphysics. I see it like this.

One, the things we don't know can actually hurt us. For example, I don't know a bus is coming as I step off the curb and out into the street. Word: Splat! Question: Did that hurt? Oh, I don't know. Talk to the Coroner's office.

Two, if I don't know and never find out that one of my closest friends is talking bad about me (they usually do, but to my face) that probably won't hurt... until I find out about it.

You, may say, yes. What I don't know won't hurt me. However, those of us who are the ever curious may say no, what I don't know will hurt me. This is probably because we just got nailed by a bus because we had our nose stuck in a how-to book or some other learning device.

Later on fans.
