You understand me, I've thought the same when I look back, it's like I've been in a deep sleep or blind, but it's because of a lack of knowledge, we can't judge ourselves for not knowing things that we do know today. After all, what is happiness?

Ecclesiastes 1:18 "for in much wisdom is much vexation, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow"



Yeah, it's a strange trade off. I felt quite content in my 20s looking back. I also feel like I was completely blind to reality back then relative to how I see it now. And I some ways I feel less happy. And also, I am glad to be here, and I wouldn't trade back . I guess that is how life goes.

I had a teacher who often repeated this phrase "ignorance is the basis of happiness" and also said "the more things you know, the more unhappy you are"
