Ignorance or hell
Hi all,
I felt this might be a great place to voice a current battle I have going on in my mind. A few years back I paid a great deal of attention to how corrupt the world is, I spent a lot of time frustrated and was in no way money motivated or cared for material possessions. I went out of my way to avoid consuming advertisements or any kind of brainwash.
Currently I am doing very well at work, I have just moved into a new house, I spend my time thinking about being more successful, wearing nice watches, driving fancy cars and visiting exotic locations. I read the bullshit in the newspapers everyday, watch meaningless television and stay heavily sedated with junk food, alcohol and some recreational drugs from time to time.
I am fully aware of this shift and I must admit, I feel happier believing in the bullshit and staying ignorant to the evils of the world. Also, I could choose to seek the true information and pray for a revolution of some kind but - what would I really be able to do anyway?
I am interested in your thoughts on this, is it better to stay ignorant and happy or be frustrated and most probably, poor?
