You can’t return to the womb
Ignorance is bliss. There are times when I wish I didn’t know some of the things I do.
I wish I believed that there was an endless supply of oil. So I wouldn’t worry about using paper bags instead of plastic or driving aimlessly. I wish I didn’t know about the health risks of eating animal products, the living conditions they are subjected to or the horrible side effects the environment suffers from raising so many animals. I wish I still believed that money really does bring you happiness and that buying new stuff satisfied you. I wish I wasn’t compelled to recycle.
The reality is once you have seen the light, been unplugged, or whatever you choose to call it. Living how you once did is near impossible. Sometimes I wish I could go to a steakhouse or fast food joint and enjoy a meal. But I can’t, I know what I know and I can’t unlearn it. So now I feel my destiny to awaken others to the myths that have been ingrained into our culture.
I suppose I don’t want to unlearn it anyway. It is just, life was so much simpler when I was asleep to everything.
