Ignorance is bliss

I have wrestled with this idea for quite some time, and my opinions are still ambivalent. This thought recently popped up after finding out that parts of Men Vs Wild, the series on Nat Geo, were fake. I will never be able to enjoy that series again, there will always be that doubt, and for that matter on similar series in future, what a shame. But if I had not been aware ?

I used to love street food, still do, but gradually when the unhygenic aspect sinks in, I never had that fun, always conscious. What fun it used to be pani puri after school, but now :( The situation is worse when it comes to relationships.

When you try to understand a relationship, the rationale, put logic, prepare that equation, balance it, then thats it, you loose something forever, now the relationship will turn into something mathematical, that you can probably put in a paper and analyze,

In future when we develop superior models to understand human psyche, its not that hard to imagine a sw system taking all the inputs from the various sensors, and giving you a chart ! Or a text message alert on your cell that reads " Hey Tushar, She is 78.25% in love with you, thats up by 2% from yesterday, if you want a more detailed report, click this link,
Satisfaction Guaranteed, Your transaction will be safe with us" or something on those lines. Ok that was a bit fanciful, but not very hard to imagine.

When I first started reading psychology, it fascinated me to no end, I was aware that I might potentially devalue the humane aspect of a relationship, but curiosity got the better of me. I was convinced that there is a reason behind every action, whether someone is conscious of that reasoning or not, did not concern me, I was interested in just the logic. And sadly there is a reason,behind all that we do. But then I found I am loosing a certain sentimental value in relationships.

Probably the trick lies is not being ignorant but not to be 'super smart', relationships ought to have that sentimental value, I choose to ignore rationale and logic in relationships that I value, I don't want to make SENSE of it all, I don't have to, and it has been a wise decision so far. How it feels when someone surprises you, when someone sits with you and gives you advice, when someone cares, standing by your side. When someone waits for you and you abandon every logic and try to outdo with more love and caring than you got :)
