Too often the masses are kept from seeing the whole graphic truth of tthe world that we start to lose grip on reality. The tragety of the hurricane is terrible, and will haunt me for a long time. AS WELL IT SHOULD. To sheild myself from the suffering of others is to shield myself from truth, which would be a mistake. 'Ignorance is bliss' is supposed to be an ironic turn of phrase. It is supposed to actually say that those who are ignorant only think they are blissful.
Now if only we could be exposed to the reality of war, famine, starvation, sickness, terrorism, etc. It's more difficult to ignore the whole truth of a situation than it is to ignore it's surface.
