Some random thoughts and musings
I don’t think I ever fully understood the term “blissful ignorance” in its entirety before. Sure I know what it meant, and that some people can take it as an insult. But in reality, if the goal in life is to be happy and inspired, then “blissful ignorance” sounds like a great thing to me.
I love to read and get to know a topic, but sometimes you can know just a little too much about a thing. When you learn all there is to know about something, it can often take the magic out of it. I know that feeling of newness and excitement you get when you find something that has all this promise of innovation and adventure. But if you pursue it to its conclusion, or overanalyze it, you are left wanting something more.
I would like to leave you with is this. Take time to enjoy those things that make you happy, and the jump headlong into the things that inspire you. Everyone has their own unique vision of life, the world, the future, and the past.
We all need a little adventure and mystery in our lives, keeps things rough around the edges. :)
