Believe it or not, Zacharias had given a significant amount of consideration to that very question. Was ignorance bliss? He could imagine moments when it just might be. "Maybe for a while, but the thing with lies is that they always seem to catch up to you and I'd much rather be ready for them than surprised."
Being aware of the reality of a situation made it more manageable. Not knowing or choosing to ignore, meant you forfeited any power you might have over it. "So, I'm content in knowing that puppies become dogs and die and sweets will eventually rot your teeth because maybe then I'll enjoy it knowing full well it won't last and not be upset when it's over."
That was more of a profound statement than he was normally capable of, but sometimes Zacharias Smith could surprise even himself. He only wish that he had that sort of sense when he was younger. Not that it would help him, he suspected he would always end up in some variation of this situation.
