is ignorance

[zzxxee]

really bliss and if so are there any situations where it really would be best to know the truth?

[zzxxee]

that would indeed be a good situation to be blissfully ignorant

[mccfluff]

if i was going to be robbed by a stupid lying ****** then i'd rather someone warned me about it

if a spider is creeping past me and chances are i won't notice it, then ignorance is certainly bliss

[Bbbananas]

very very good example mcfluff.
I won't try to better it....

what about if your mates other half was playing away from home but you had never seen him/her so happy would you tell??????

[Mailmutt]

Well, many years ago, I used to work with what used to be called educationally sub normal (dunno what the PC term is these days) people, who were ignorant of some of the basic needs and knowledge for us to get thru life, and they were happy all the time - no worries, nothing.

I think the more you are aware of, be it personally or generally, the more pressure you have.

whilst dementia sould not be joked about it does have its upsides. My boss' mother suffered from it and one day her grandson, whom she'd never met arrived from Australia. During his stay the boss took him 3 or 4 times to see his gran and each time she was over the moon 'cos she thought it was the first time they'd met....

You paid �3,000 for your fab hotel holiday.

The person on the next sunbed snapped up a last minute booking, and paid �200.

Best not to know.

In response to your second question about 'your mate's other half'' playing away from home - yeh, I would tell.
I would tell my mate that her partner's change of behaviour might possibly be because he is shagging around?

Married people don't just change their behaviour and she can make what she wants of it. Ignorance is her choice?

[joggerjayne]

I would tell, too.

Otherwise, could you just imagine, six months later, when your friend finds out everything, and says ...

''You mean you've known about this for six months?''

is ignorance
really bliss

Would that include used toilet tissue stuck to the bottom of your shoe and women when they tuck their skirts into their knickers ?

[cazzz1975]

Im not a fan of ignorance is bliss, I prefer to know the facts, however difficult they may be for me to accept, but it depends on your personality type, some people cannot accept hearing harsh realities and so tend to wear blinkers

[Seadragon]

But to add to that - If she didnt raise the issue about her partners changes, then I wouldn't say anything as she may know herself and not want to raise the issue? Whatever her reasons.

[ThePlayer]

Im with you cazzz,i want the brutal hard honest truth from the prickly begining right to the dark bitter end !

[ThePlayer]

And sod the creamy sugar coated middles ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

lol

[joggerjayne]

Leg ...

If it was the other way round ...

... I still wouldn't rat on a friend.

Whichever way you ask the question, I'd side with my friend.

I know you don't like it, but hey-ho.
