I first heard it from a scene on a TVB Series, I can't really remember when and what the title was. But I thought I always hear it and I always wonder why.
A women's best friend told her that her husband was cheating on her. There were no tears coming out from her eyes. She seemed calm but in a while, it busted into anger.
"Why do you have to tell me?" She busted. Like her friend, I was shocked. Then she continued, "Why do you have to ruin this marriage? If I hadn't known, I could still be his wife and I could still be happy. Now that I have known, how should I react to that?" Then I guess she chased her friend away?
I used to think that was a funny theory. I used to think I wanted nothing but the truth. Therefore, I had always been honest (or ignorant or what ever). As I exposed myself more to other human beings, my mind has been corrupted influenced. I began to believe that ignorance is a blessing.
Sometimes, if you were told that your partner is cheating on you. Will you confront him? I guess, if you really want this to end, you should. As either he admits or denies, it will still make him a cheater or liar. Therefore, I guess women prefer not knowing, as they cannot control themselves not confronting.
Sometimes I think, if I were given the chance to know when I am gonna die, will I take it? I guess I wouldn't be able to stay alive without going crazy. For me, knowing things takes a lot of courage and wisdom. Just like the above scene that I have talked about earlier. If the wife is wise enough, I guess knowing and not knowing wouldn't be a matter. As she can handle it calmly, she might be able to pretend not knowing it and stay cool until the marriage should come to an end. That is wisdom.
If you are given the chance to have precognition to the future, will you take it? Are you able to handle it? If what you do or say will not be able to change the future, will you still want to know? On the other hand, I don't believe in the saying that we can change the future. The fact that you can change the future is the future, just that you don't know then.
Sigh.. talking crap again.

hmmm , interesting.
if my gf is cheating on me, i'd rather know
as for my future ? wahh, i'd rather not know when I'm going to die!
I don't think the future is set though, because we can still change it :)
Hahhah.. I guess I believe in "no one knows the future", including those fortune teller? So if you don't know, you can't change it.
Hahha.. Jason, what you posted here is beautiful. I guess you made me want to watch the movie more. Thanks for the quote!
haha, just trying to promote my blog :P
Dun wan know cos wan marridge, wan a living place and money? wanna know and confront cos wan only truth and love... Of course i'll choose to know lo, I got tangan kaki i can take care of myself without him, dun cheat sendiri cheat ppl mah. BTW, the movie is "gem of life"?
Jason: Hahah.. you're giving me credit for promoting your blog.
Cruella: I don't know what you're trying to tell me lup.. and no, it's not from gem of life. Some old movie I watched and pondered while I was like Form 4/5.
Sometimes people tend to cheat themselves not because of what they are enjoying, it is because they cant accept the truth or not willing to accept the truth, and so they are willing to be cheated forever; or maybe they really love that person ....
by the way, i supported you on your NuffNuff, maybe you can go to my blog and support me :P
Jason: How do I do that? By clicking your ad?
