Well...maybe if she isn't sneaking up behind you with knife in hand to stab you in the back, and you didn't know about it till it was too late. So, I don't think that is true! cheers

If you don't have knowledge of something hurtful..then logical reasoning tells us..it can't hurt us literally.

You don't know ur children r on drugs.

You don't know u have a disease.

You don't know someone u call friend is really not....

Too right.

The chances are at some point you will find out anyway. Hiding things just compounds the eventual humiliation and hurt.

What you don't know does hurt.

The only thing is that you find out what's what, when the damage is done and then it is usually too late to do anything about it.

Personally, I would rather "know" and take it on the chin then otherwise.

They say that ignorance is bliss,but I do not believe that it is true. I think that we take in/seek only the information that we are capable of dealing with wherever we have a choice too.
How many people Choose to "ignore" affairs in their relationship,for example?

It's not true.

If, for instance people are saying things about someone, and everyone shuns them, then they can be deeply hurt without knowing why.

All they will know is that people want to avoid them, or hurt them physically, because of something they don't know that someone is saying about them.

Ignorance is not bliss, and what you don't know can hurt you. wine

Agree. Only in a few circumstances is it better off not to know(such as an off-hand insult directed to you by one person at one point in time... you'd be better off not even knowing it existed), but most of the time, it's better to know as much as you can.
