一度知ったら戻れない幸福論：プラトンの洞窟から現代人のDead by Daylightまで｜TraceOfEcho

あなたは、このエッセイを読まなければよかったと思うかもしれない。 だって、一度知ってしまったら、もう知らなかった頃には戻れないから。　安物のワインで満足していた自分、コンビニ弁当で幸せだった夕食、安物のスーツで誇らしげに歩いていたあの日。全部、過去の話になってしまう。 洞窟

Do you love truth enough to continue seeking it even if it reveals aspects of yourself, of humanity or of the universe that are shocking, complex, and disturbing? This process of developing critical thought, self reflection and self validation- is becoming more important than ever as the volume of information given to us grows and grows, but the main point is this: How well we learn depends on the strength of our desire to learn.

I know nothing, But I seek to understand. I thought I'd left the cave, But it had only spread its borders. The world is on fire, And I don't know what I'm more frightened of; That I've yet to even feel the heat, Or that I've already experienced the entire brilliance of its flames.
