It is simple physics isn’t it? You find sunsets beautiful because you have no idea about how destructive helium and hydrogen are. The same sun that is explosive existentially, supports life on Earth because of optimum distance. While Some planets are so close that Sun burns them, others are too distant to receive its warmth.
Same is with Unawareness. What looks out to be beautiful due to unawareness often turns out to be ugly and the most destructive thing you can come to know about as you draw closer. I wonder sometimes that Isn’t being unaware better than being uncomfortably or destructively curious? Also isn’t it better to not know everything because the more you know the more you realise how dented the truth is under the patches of glittery taping.
Little or no awareness about anything other than one’s existence is the most mindful way of living and the most self aware attribute of life. People who remain too learned about the world and others are often far from their own realities. They lead deluded lives, make bad choices and waste lives either resolving or justifying issues their own unreal curiosities attract.
Nonchalance, ignorance, Unawareness might look like words that separate one from the race of the world but truth is they save us and keep our honesty intact in a society that chooses malicious intent to stay updated with lies that satiate curiosities.
Life for me at the end of the day is a tale of unlearning and shedding off everything that we have known and become mindful with limited knowledge needed to sustain a life that can stay peaceful only when one is away from the traps of knowing everything to stay updated.
(Just an old school thought in a world that gets fomo if it doesn’t stay updated and destroys everything that it doesn’t understand).
