total happiness

They say ignorance is bliss; But really, how is that so? Because if you don't know how much happier something can make you, if you don't have it or know of it? If you never take the leap, how do you know how it'll turn out? I think, they say that to make themselves feel better about not taking the chance on something. About not taking an oppurtunity that hey may never get again. I try to take all the chances I can. To get out of life everything I can. This way, at least if I take the risk, I can't ever look back and regret NOT taking the chance. This way I will know how things turn out, not sit there looking back and wonder how life might've been different if only I had done this one thing. If only I had done it this way...
