A statement that is supposed to be funny, bit is in fact very true.

On the 11th of September, the terrorists struck. They flew two planes into the World Trade Centre in New York. They also flew a plane into the Pentagon.

Before I knew this I was happily going about my day, I was worrying about the homework I hadn't done, the homework I had to do and how I was going to get home. Then I heard this news. And I suddenly felt hollow.

Immediatly I started worrying. Worrying about the death rate, worrying about what America's retaliation was going to be, worrying about freinds I have over in New York.

Before I knew all this I was relatively happy.

Take another example.

My friend recently fell over... onto a needle. Well... possibly a needle... We don't know exactly what it was thought to have been a needle. Whatever it was, it was sharp and it went into him.

He today went to the doctors to have tests run on him, to see whether he has caught anything.

He told me today that he'd rather not know the results, and carry on.

He doesn't want to be told the worst.

I'm now scared for him, and worried about him. He's only 13 and he hasn't ever done anything wrong. He does NOT deserve to die... Which he will if the worst comes to the worse.

And that's just how I feel, imagine how he's feeling!

I could go on, there are so many times when I'd rather not know what's gone on or what's going to happen.

There was a story on the News about a girl who was abducted, raped and killed in my area. I did NOT want to know this! I'm now scared to go around without some form of company.

Y'see, ignorance IS Bliss. If you don't know what's happening you can't be worried about it.

There are so many things in life that I'd rather not know about. I'm a very paranoid and insecure person. Things like this can and will damage me, so I'd rather not know them.

I hope, I pray that my friend will be alright. He doesn't deserve to be in this siutation.

Ignorance IS Bliss. Just remember that.

Good Post...

Although I'm not sure if I agree with you 100%

On the 11th I was in Maths when it happened... didn't know, then I was in shop on way home and bloody U2 was on radio and no mention of it... then I got home and saw all.

If I didn't see the TV I would have just gone about my normal crappy day... although I think it is only bliss if you don't have a clue what to expect next... I'd never of that so I wouldn't have tried to ignore it it just happened.

With your mate he has an idea of what to expect so I think that is worth although myself personally I would like to know the worst then see what happens.

Hope he gets the all clear mate.

But, if you don't know what's happening, you can't do anything about it.


Wouldnt you want to know, so at least if you only had a few months to live, yu could do all the things you wanted to before you die?

At least you'd know, without spending all the time worrying about it. And you could carry on with everything else.

Hope he'll be alright mate.
