I have said this before, and it is all over my profile:
"That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be"
Are there exceptions to this rule? It's never better to believe in falsehoods? I wholeheartedly agree with that principle as a general guideline, but I'm inclined to believe that it's not a universal truth.
I sort of live by this principle too. As odd as it may sound I'd rather know the truth and be unhappy with it than be happy believing in a falsehood.
Well
never is a strong word. What if you had basically the perfect life? Not sure exactly what that would mean for you, but whatever it means. All of a sudden, you wake up and realize it was a dream. Your life is actually extremely miserable. Not just that you're unsatisfied with your boring life, but more like that you're starving to death or being routinely tortured and raped (maybe both). Wouldn't it have been better to have remained in that dream forever, even if you didn't know that the truth was a living nightmare?
That's the problem with the word
never.
