The curse of being intelligent
It would be so simple, to be simple. To not consume facts that tear at your conscience, that make you feel sad and alone when you realize that the person who is happy to be without the realizations that can matter so deeply to what is happening, or even more sadly, what has ALREADY happened, will not care a whit that there are problems that they do not know about, the problems that cannot be solved or wished away, and they are quite happy.
But what is true is what is real; what goes on is not deniable, the same truth will be here tomorrow, and next week, and next year, but but will be a bitterly sour truth, that has aged and worsened, and will be there again and again.
