Even after all the clues have been put together, new questions continue to arise and the hole you thought was filling is really only growing larger. You can keep digging for new clues as each answer leads down a rabbit hole of additional questions and endless possibilities until you're inevitably involved in the situation you only wanted to remain an observer of. That's when you have to decide or at least realize that sometimes the best answer is no answer. You may never know the truth or the answer to top all answers (thus all questions) but maybe that's to your benefit.
They say curiosity kills the cat. A cliche that's anything but myth. That space in your mind left open to the possibilities may be better off than the one filled with the nagging memory of hardcore truth.
The wife infuriated by suspicions of her husband's philandering may find that not knowing is frustrating. But she may find it much harder to live after catching him in the act with his mistress. Question after question has an answer that's goes deeper into the malicious mystery. The memory of suspicion is short lived however the memory of truth never disappears. It manifests itself in every aspect of your life. For the wife, her ability to trust is shattered and she spends the rest of her life gluing the pieces together. She questions the motives of any man who approaches her. She questions the witty comment made by her boss, taking it personally as she is unable to distinguish whether or not he's crossed the line into sexual harassment. She questions herself and her ability to make sound decisions. She will forever engage in internal dialogue that causes her to question a person's motives.
Ignorance vs. Awareness.
Truth. The foundation of enlightenment or the gateway to emotional and psychological ruin?
