To this I would respond, how can one possibly be content without knowing the truth?
I am a firm believer that one's purpose in life is to experience, to be experienced. If the world surrounding you is an empty reality, what does that say about your relation to it? Or you, yourself?
Living in ignorance is a practice many choose to accept each day, whether turning their head away from the starving on the street corner or changing the channel when confronted with the less fortunate of a geographically distant location. It is also, unfortunately, a very sheltered existence whose emptiness is made that much clearer through the means of awareness on both personal and social levels. An awareness that is typically discouraged by most common social structures as a nuissance; merely an annoyance designed to distract you from TRL.
To know your world is to experience it. To avoid that knowledge is to merely reside within it.
And you know who else merely resides? Cockroaches.
Funny how that works.
