I think that's why we have to have friends who know us well enough to help us see what we've forgotten. Sometimes it gets really hard to see or we choose not to.

But of course, that depends on the situation. The knowledge that comes from overcoming ignorance is often more blissful. I think ignorance can be bliss. But of course, that depends on the situation.

Sometimes I get depressed because of thinking too much. Strange how that is. For me the best cure is action--like being productive and using time creating something. Interesting thoughts.

Men must have hope; the problem is that you can't have hope without faith (and vice versa). Unless someone really believes that they can accomplish the things they envision, they will not only not act upon it, but it may even make them more depressed. One might even say that vision is the intellect expanded. It's a recognition of the way things can be and truly are for some. However, I don't believe that ignorance is bliss. There is no happiness without progression; of that I'm sure. And there is no progression without learning. Perhaps recognizing the awfulness of your situation is a sharp cut on the skin; it can be treated. Ignorance is a dull throb that can't be reached. Whatever pain the bum lacks by not realizing his wasted potential is bought at the price of feeling real joy and fulfillment. That's why learning is so important; just because we can't recognize our problems doesn't mean they aren't there. The more you know, the more you can grow! I think you are right.
