The proverb calls the attention to a surprising fact that in several cases it is better to be unaware of the realities than to have knowledge about them. Undoubtedly, success lies in acquiring more and more understanding about the hidden mysteries of life. However, certain things must not be known to lead a satisfied and comfortable life. Children’s life is a great example of having a wonderful life despite being completely ignorant. They do not worry the ups and downs of the world but innocently live a pleasant existence that everyone dreams of such life.
Numerous cases come to a head to justify this unusual reality. Every individual would have been on a sick list, had they known about their actual day of death. One cannot survive a contented life if he comes to know about the arrival of his death within few days. An imagination to have the world a place where everyone is conscious of exact day of death, will flash a picture in mind where every individual is weighed down and lost his sleep. Blessing of such ignorance cannot be undervalued in a sphere where though, man has achieved glorious series of success but may not bear a bit of such extra knowledge.
Despite the fact that the possession of knowledge brings light in the thoughts but contrary to this, incomprehension also adds colours to life. Unfamiliarity with mishaps is fairly a special boon from the Creator to humans. The life would have come to stillness, provided everyone had been aware of the accidents and troubles they come across. Afraid of accidents, mothers would never have allowed their children to go by school bus and no one may have dared to enjoy on the beaches. People might have a lived a very miserable and deplorable survival. A very small number of people could have been found on the roads with pale and frightened faces. Not to speak off such happenings in real life but the idea of such survival even strikes terror into mind.
In sum, it can be concluded that knowledge, being essential and significant part of life is sometimes a trauma. In contrast to this, though, ignorance cursed by every person sometimes completes the incomplete part of life with happiness and peace.
