Ignorance is bliss and immaturity is personality.

That’s what a friend told me today. And boy doesn’t it seem true! When we were/are ignorant life seems “happy”, and when we are immature, we have more “personality”.

Of course we can be aware and not ignorant and still be in bliss, but it takes a lot of work to get there. And of course we can be mature and have personality, but again it takes a lot of work (a lot more). The truth is, awareness is true bliss, when we are aware of our short fallings and our blunders we can seek God’s truth, and be free of causing further harm to ourselves and others. The truth is, maturity brings strong, integral character, and that kind of character leads people into awareness.
