Ignorance is bliss. To what extent do people agree with that? In many applications of life, that is highly applicable and true. Sometimes though, the ignorance that we speak of, is merely a form of delusion, meant to shield us from disappointment and unhappiness which the truth always seems to bestow upon us.

Bestow? Yes it was intentionally used to highlight the gross irony of the realism of the truth. What if you believed in some things for your entire life, and you always kept true to it, and it was your driving force; the impetus of which you are to carry on with your life in a positive demeanor?

And then you slowly realize that your belief was nothing much but a fraud. A facade created by your younger self to protect yourself from harm, and to grant you confidence in your life.

What if one day it was taken away from you? you wake up from your sleep, feeling like total shit. You realiuze that everything that you had stood for has been nothing but fabricated lies that shielded you from pain, and negativity.

Is it ever possible to get the shields back up? the level of delusion required to engineer another charge at confidence and success?

I would really love to say that it is possible. But there is a niggling feeling that I know by now that yes. I am in fact a failure in life. A talentless entity.
