Fucking sigh. I think I have a problem. In matrix theres this scene where Neo is given a choice, he can take the blue pill and forget what he knows and live in blissful ignorance or he can take the red pill and live in the harsh reality. If you had the choice to take the blue pill and you knew it would make you happier, would you?

No. I'm happy enough already.

So why do you prefer the knowledge over being more happy?

I had the red pill shoved down my throat.

I'd be happy with the blue pill if it gave me the happiness I wanted instead of a VISION of being a slave to capitalism, people's cruelty and so on. If it meant that I could make the most of myself, even if it was in the Matrix.

I still question what would happen if you took both simultaniously.

 Knowledge gives a purpose to an otherwise meaningless life.

 But then again blissful ignorance can give you a simpler purpose.

Is it just as extreme?  Is it reversable?  I'm guessing yes then no.

If you’re smart you can chose how to live your life whereas if you’re just happy, your options are much more limited.

Anyway, I think it’s a personal choice. I crave for knowledge because for me the happiness comes with it.
