    are you distressing about it? then that guy has won.
    he's proving that the fact that you know the true words of the proverb is hindering you, while he, who is ignorant of the correct way of saying the sentence, is in a state of bliss.

    that really is a metaphysical argument.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Eh, it kind of bothers me when people try to correct my quote "Ignorance is Bliss" to "Ignorance is a Blessing." Anywho, I already corrected him and he has sent his apologies, so we're fine now.

    "Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
    terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
    this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
    religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
    giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
    view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
    learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
    chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself." -- Timothy Leary

    This quote is very true about the aspects of life itself.
