Being Scorponic - is ignorance bliss?
Is Ignorance Sometimes Better Than Knowledge
Seeking knowledge can lead to clarity but also discomfort. Sometimes staying unaware or in a state of doubt offers peace and simplicity, avoiding stress and overthinking. Whether knowing or not depends on personal balance and the desire for peace versus curiosity.

why do we always have to know? cant we just stay in a fog of confusion? how come i just cant leave well enough alone?i always have to get to the bottom of something even when i know the outcome is not going to be great. is it truly a good thing to know everything? like a German Sheppard sniffing out a hiding criminal, we find out everything.
sometimes i hate being in the know. i hate my BS radar. i want to be stupid and dumb and live in a constant honeymoon phase. i want to accept anything anyone gives me. i dont want to second guess anyone. i want the wool pulled over my eyes.
DMV,
Sometimes, what you want isn't necessarily what you, let alone, the world, needs.
Just something to consider.
yeah. ignorance really IS bliss if you are using the right definition of the word:
"The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used as an insult to describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts.
Ignorance is distinguished from stupidity, although both can lead to "unwise" acts."
what your eyes don't see your heart can't grieve for and all that jaaaaaazz
If i don't like something about a situation i'm in or about a particular person, i switch off to them totally. i ignore them completely and utterly and in doing so become ignorant of the situation or person in question and they cease to affect me.
up until the point of ignorance i can be unbelievably gullible though, lol!!
like say you really like someone and your really feelin them. then they say something that sends your nose upward. you think to yourself, theres more here. do i want to know? or do i want to stay in a state of bliss? to know the truth may bring about ruin. to not know the truth may bring about an ass kickin later. do you sniff it out?
Ignorance is distinguished from stupidity, although both can lead to "unwise" acts."
then when you sniff something out you wish you hadnt. is it selfish and stupid to knowingly stay in a state of denial
i think this is more about intuition/gut instincts than snooping, lol.
yeah im not talking about snooping. maybe those with a merc in scorp/conj pluto can relate. going through cell phones and emails arent really my thing. id rather just talk someone into confessing.
you gut feels something. do you listen? do you sometimes wish you hadnt? i envy Neptunian people sometimes.
If i don't like something about a situation i'm in or about a particular person, i switch off to them totally. i ignore them completely and utterly and in doing so become ignorant of the situation or person in question and they cease to affect me.
like a light switch perhaps? i get this way 2. instantaneous. one minute this person is around this affectionate woman and the next minute, ice princess has entered the building.
moon in aspect to uranus me thinks.

are your wants and needs in perfect alignment? i want the truth but do i need the truth is the question...i need to know but do i want to know—

DMV,

Are you saying scorps should know WHEN to snoop and WHEN to leave things be?!
Because that's an interesting concept
Or are you saying that they SHOULD dig in and sniff even when it isn't the right thing to do?!
OOOoooor...is that what you want people to consider?!
Whoa! My mind is spinning with...things
😄click to expand
my thoughts exactly. not so much the snooping but just asking questions. when do you stop asking questions when you know full well that the end result is not to your favor?
i can honestly say i've never snooped on anyone in my whole entire life. it scares me too much cos i think if your gut instinct is telling you to find out more about someone, it's almost certainly something you're best off not knowing and i wouldn't want to be with someone i mistrusted to that extent.
omg well my ex was a chronic snooper. he even found his way to dxp, LOL!!! this was obviously years ago. omfg the threads i had about him make me cringe now cos obviously he saw it all and also learned a few other things about me he hadn't known before. that'll teach me for being a little too honest here!!
hahhahaha...in retrospect it's funny but at the time it wasn't!!
I don't think iv'e come across many Scorpio mercury people because iv'e never really been probed like that.
I feel like i would welcome it. But then again, , mercurially speaking i'm generally very lazy. I don't like explaining things. I guess that's the Taurus merc.
In fact, i think a lot of people should learn that sometimes no response, is a response.

he even found his way to dxp, LOL!!!
LOL the horror!
a lot of people show who they really here i think.
Like people's rants and opinions on touchy subjects like racism, politics and the health care system. Plus sex (obviously) That shit is too heavy for the real world sometimes, and wouldn't go down too well.
I mean if P Angel was how she was in real life as she sometimes is on here. She's be in a ditch somewhere. But then sometimes you see the real side. Little glimpses into the real P Angel. Her sweet side. Like her obsessions with Sean Bean and male masturbation...

I imagine it would be scary to be probed by a merc in scorp.A merc is sag just ends up to be a bunch of silliness.
lol i was gonna say.
Gob shite. Comes to mind when i think of Merc in Sag. j/k :p
actually i picture a giddy high pitch squeal you get from a typical attractive American cheerleader when i think of Sag merc
we don't like when others hold back, especially if we've exposed ourselves.

OH YEAH you got a quite a sexy voice if i remember correctly. My bad.
Maybe it's that Scorpio rising. But that sexy raspiness could quite easily be the result of a 20-a-day habit.... Good lord how Rude of me AA. It's your Scorpio rising 🙂

merc in sag ive noticed will attempt to change the subject on me especially if im hot on a trail. they will try to incite laughter to get me to stop.
majority of the time, its curiosity. other times, i smell something funky and i have to fish it out.
i did give this person ample opportunity to just come clean. i even gave myself opportunity to separate my intuition from paranoia. whoa there paranoia, whoa there. but the alarms were sounding.
you know things go way south for you when the next word out of my mouth is either "who, what, why, where" and there is no laughing, no smiling, just straight question, stare, answer, stare.

AA, do you snoop on people?
I think the only Scorpio placement i have is Pluto? So no, really.
But i do like peeping, and watching people who don't know are being watched. But that's just normal.
Posted by BullGem
Why did I have to like the scorp that does snoop into my stuff?
I admit, as much as i like the guy, i don't like people spying on me. I can be pretty private!
his merc is in gemini...
you should tell him that.
i just really feel conflicted with myself. sigh
I have Mercury in Scorpio.
But I also have Moon in Pisces.
It seems I don't need to probe, I just know.

it's in scorpio....omg! is that worse?!?!click to expand
it all starts with trust. i mean your obsessed with your scorpio. its cool, we all are. tauris have stalker tendencies as well, so knowing his birth data is snooping just the same as far as im concerned.
if i trust my partner, there is no snooping, no line of questioning, nada. if i dont trust you, i will ask you so many questions it will make your head spin.
he snoops because your hiding something
DMV,
You cannot be trusted.
Not for long, anyway.
That you want to be ignorant, suggests to me, that, somewhere..., deep down...,
your conscience haunts you.
That's a good thing.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong. I don't hide anything from someone who comes to my face and asks me what they want to know. Sit me down or whatever and ask me point blank in a simple question what you want, and i'll answer.
but go snooping around (really starting to hate that word, btw...) behind my back or like him, do it plain sight without letting me know what you're after, and i'll clam up! I'll be as elusive as can be (venus/mars in pisces) because i won't trust your method of investigation...
and did i have something to hide on my cell? Nope, he goes through that thing day in and day out. 😉 i think sometimes he does things like that to piss me off and he KNOWS it works. i've tried to so many times to pretend i don't care, but...*growl* that's just pointless.click to expand
ah i c. i dont know about the other merc in scorps, but im not much of a talker around someone i like. well talker in general, unless its about something fun. im more about feeling the situation out. it may be your natural elusiveness which is causing him to snoop.
i ve always thought that tauris are far worse than counterparts. people "expect" things from a scorpio, no one ever sees a tauri coming because theyre ruled by venus and its the planet of love. tauris have horns just like scorpios have stingers.

Now, now, DMV,
I only said what I said because you have said what you've said, in the past.
How long you expect for your "relationship" to last is dependent upon how long you
can be trusted.
I'm saying anything groundbreaking. That's just the way it is.
It seems you want to have your cake and eat it too and.... you want someone else to
make it, feed you and wipe your bottom when you poop it out.
Don't you think that's a pretty tall order?
hmmmmm, Are you by chance related to SunScorp?

But it sounds too easy. We know that our minds, our conscience would never let us!click to expand
It's hard indeed and understandable but we basically, complicate things, we destroy things and then try to repair what we have willingly broken ourselves, our senses are for the most part conditioned to react to worldly things and at this point what is required to re-calibrate ourselves with nature, most don't want to do.

What is your point with this...not meaning to sound harsh, btw
Would ignorance in fact BE bliss? Knowing that through self-sabotage (the endless need to dig for the truth) we may or may not 'rise from the ashes' of our own destruction...are we better left unwitting?click to expand
Stupidity would be self-sabotage.
Ignorance is simply being unaware, unfamiliar and not knowing.
To some degree, no one and yet everyone can be faulted for being ignorant.
Intuition encourages one to investigate, hence "Follow your intuition"
Sometimes, the problem people have is going too deep into knowledge.
So much so, that knowledge can give birth to confusion.
As you grow older, you begin to observe that you're continually learning.
One can be "narrow minded" or focused, or they can be "broadminded" and clouded.
The best recourse appears to be "Everything In Moderation" as the practical solution.
Now, Wisdom and Foolishness.
The wise know how to discern what is important and what is not. But, on the other hand,
the fool does not and will suffer until he/she learns to seek and practice wisdom.
Wisdom protects, foolishness destroys.
Wisdom is closer to the spirit than it is to the carnal.
Following your intuition is partially wisdom, but at times may seem foolish until proven wise
as there are occasions for chance.

I've never seen the expression "ignorance is bliss" for a Scorpio. I guess it comes down to what kind of person one is.

No, it's good, you don't sound harsh. I don't know where the person who first came out with the expression "ignorance is bliss", was coming from saying that but in the state we are in right now, most of us do wrong by not knowing, having been conditioned to do wrong almost instinctively now. So In the state we are in now, ignorance can not be bliss, because one needs to have at least basic awareness of the state we're in and the state we need to be in. The state we need to be in to me is to be in touch with your divinity, in sync with nature, humanity and the rest of the universe. Knowledge is required to bring it to where it needs to be.

I too don't go snoopin' but what Let*It*Be said is pretty much dead on.

My Scorp says that this is a quote he believes in. As in, he's talked about it before (I don't discuss this forum with him.)
Is it because as a deep feeling person you may believe that if you just didn't know, If you just didn't analyze like a scorp, you may be more blissful? I think his empathy and judgement bring him to that conclusion.

i starting to think that knowledge is power and to knowingly resist the truth is ....detrimental to not only yourself but to the other person. in the end, the red flags that weve decided to ignore eventually come back to bits us in the ass later.

I remember reading P Angel saying Virgo is the epitome of the saying "ignorance is bliss"
oh my word!! i loooove that scorpy's dick pic 😛
I think basically the DMV is questioning that whole whole concept of "ignorance is bliss". Is it really bliss?
What is ignorance?
To me, an extreme of version this would be a woman who is in an abusive relationship, yet denies it, and continues to love him. But isn't that in denial?
I have moon in Virgin, and i feel like one of my best deflections is ignorance.
What is ignorance? Is it a defensive mechanism to avoid confrontation? Is it a defensive mechanism to avoid awkward sensitive personal problems? Is it a good mechanism to block out things that aren't a main priority, so you can focus on main priorities like yourself and your own problems? Is it a technique used to stretch out, elongate, draw out a situation which you love so dearly (i.e. boyfriend), but at the same time secretly knowing it's bad for you whilst at the same also time also knowing that your manipulated purposeful extension of this unhealthy situation is only going to exacerbate things? Who knows.
