That quote from the philosophy of Stoicism is interesting. If you believe he said it. Writings conflict on whether he actually said it, but if you embrace that philosophy, please read about Stoicism and it's other perceived virtues.
As a practical person my entire life, I better follow the old wives tale...
"Ignorance is bliss"
I will nothing but leave you all alone, but as someone who is sarcastically criticized for wanting facts, I feel the need to remind all of the commandments.....Thou shall not lie....and....Thou shall not bear false witness against others which are pertinent to this.
Practically speaking, what validates what you say as truth, and allows you to question others who actually search for truth ?
It is rare than anyone publicly denounces truth or the search for it.
I would hope that you demand truth in life, because enabling the alternative makes everything superficial and phoney.
Leave you happy folks alone, but leave you with some lyrics from a Nickelback song.....
"If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died…"
Quite a leap from Stoicism to current music.
Have a great, honest day.
