The more you know, the less happy you'll be.

No matter how cliched it sounds or how many times you've thought about this particular philosophy in general or maybe not at all, maybe everyone doesn't think that much, maybe everyone doesn't talk to themselves, maybe they don't look for answers that aren't even there and you look at them and think how happy they are not knowing anything. These careless young spirits. I know people that are enjoying their lives with their families and all they ever think of is a steady and stable life, they don't do that by choice. They simply do it because all they've ever known is THIS. This life of theirs. I don't know if you relate or not. I envy them.

Ever looked at a child learning to crawl or a bird singing in the morning or a squirrel running around. These things makes you nothing but wonder why is that? Because all they know about is crawling, all they know about is singing, all they know about is running around in circles. What makes all three of them so happy are these lively things. Can't we learn from them.

What stops us?

Forgetting. Forgetting about the lively things. The things that make you happy. Utter and complete ignorance of the happiness.
Responsibilities. And above all the knowing too much. The knowing too much and not just about the things you revolve around or the ones that revolve around you but the ones that the world and the universe revolves around and the ones that revolve around them. To find meaning. The search for euphoria. The search of happiness. The search of LIFE itself.

No matter what you do, you can't outrun the fact that is " THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE LESS HAPPY YOU'LL BE".
