Ignorance is Bliss

[sdi]

I asked my deity, "Do you know why [X] is so?"

They replied, Yes, but I'm prohibited from telling you.

"Why are you prohibited?"

I can't tell you that, either. I'm sorry, but it's better this way: it would cause you to despair.

There are also many things that I can't know because I lack the capacity for comprehending them. It is difficult to keep to a path when one is blind! And yet what choice do we have?

With your permission I'd like to answer the above post you made but do so on my blog. It's rather long but does give plenty of references and links to back up my explanation. I think you'll like it. I won't provide any identifying details unless you ok it. But I think you may discover your deity's reply was actually a good one even if it seemed frustrating at the time! :)

Divination says "no," so I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Thank you anyway for the offer, it's sincerely appreciated!
