Is all ignorance bliss?

Every girl gets her heartbroken at one point or another, its practially an unwritten rule. Most teenage girls get their heart broken over that one week relationship, and then quickly move on. Then there are the select few of us who really fall in love for good. Some of us will be lucky enough to marry this special man in our lives, and be able to say we married our high school sweetheart. The remainder of us will get our hearts broken in a break up that is more likely then not really messy. We spent months upon years heartbroken and depressed and carry some sort of baggage with us for the rest of our lives. It sometimes make you wonder, who are truely the lucky ones?

Are we better off spending those critical years that will decide if we are going to hate the world or not getting our heart broken so badly that it never really repairs? Or are we better off spending those years, that tend to be so lonely anyway, alone? For if we make unwise decisions we might come to find that the rest of our life has changed, which is where the real irony lies; The years where our decisions will decide the rest of our lives are the ones that tend to be our least stable. We make the decisions that we will forever regret, and we don't truely understand. These years are always tend to be filled with the laughter and tears that will mark the rest of our life, and they are known as our best years, yet they are also filled with ignorance. Which brings me to ask the real question of them all; Is such ignorance truely bliss?
  • Get your heart broken 100x
    Go ahead, get your heart broken a hundred times. You will come to the realization that your heart was never being broken, only your ego and attachment that you mistakened for your heart.

  • eh...
    Ignorance about somethings is bliss. Ignorance about love is just plain complicated. No matter how old you are you'll get your heart broken. So even if you spent all of high school alone or at least the majority of it eventually you'll get your heart broken. Whether its a back stabbing friend or a boyfriend/girlfriend. Love or liking someone is a leap. Why be ignorant to it when it could be great till the end?

    Most guys get their hearts broken too.

    I think it's better to go through it. It sucks, but the pain goes away and you grow from it. You learn the differences between real love and some of the stuff you may have made up. Next loves will tend to be more genuine and dedicated. Your perceptions on the world are more real. You don't hate the world (as long as you're not a REALLY bitter person), you just accept that things weren't what you once thought and move on to treasure what you find to be actually true.

    Most single people that have never fallen in love spend a lengthy amount of time nearly heartbroken that they haven't found that idealization of love they're waiting for anyways, and that's not all that fantastic either.

    You don't really have a choice in the matter either way though. You will or won't fall in love with someone whether you like it or not.
