Some times I wish I lived in ignorance. I envy those who laugh and smile at their mistakes. Who fail to see the glares and hear the whispers behind their backs. Their mind doesnt give a second thought. They do not remember the past and dont care of the future. I want their ignorance. Because when I have that; happiness will never abandon me. Ignorance for me is living with all your ears closed. True happiness portrayed and a word of the jealous. Ignorance.

With ignorance its like you are in a permanent state of happiness and you seem to miss all the reactions people have to your actions. All your ears are closed.
