Do I Need To Know The World???

Newspaper, media outlets and many more, with big and small prints, educating me about the world beyond myself.

What has changed from the past to the present? The answer would be interconnectedness. This is exactly why I feel a need to know the world.

It became subject in my education system, it is part of the questions that my interviewer asked. But why do I need to know about the world?

Being a person has never been easy. Being judged for being ignorant. But isn't ignorance bliss?

There is nothing wrong with learning about the world, but the fact that it is compulsory, that is what has been driving me crazy.

Perhaps I'm not eloquent, perhaps I cannot voice my ideas well, but does it hinder my very own personality? Does it, in any way, hinder you?

With greater knowledge, you may perhaps lead a better life. But it's a double-edged sword. All the knowledge drives you crazy.

Sure, I know the importance of learning about the major events. But I don't really want to know everything. I just want to lead a normal life, where everything is carefree.

This interconnectedness brought me convenience, but it is also something that scares me. This is because, we will be impacted in many ways, even greater than before.

I just want to hibernate and not care about the world. I don't want to form any views and just stay neutral. I never wanted to have to choose. I want to do something out of willingness. But in this day and age, do I have a choice? Why do I need to know about the world?
