   Happiness is being a cow grazing on gree

   "Happiness is being a cow grazing on green grass. Not knowing about the   
   slaughterhouse, not minding being milked all your life."   
      
   Anyway, things are turning philosophical now. Someone wonders what's the   
   meaning of my metaphor.   
      
   SOMEONE WONDERS:   
      
   I am not sure what kind of question you are asking. are you looking for   
   opinions of what you just said?   
      
   Elaboration would be appreciated.   
      
   MY WISE REPLY:   
      
   You are so happy, carried away by the green grass, that you fail to notice the   
   true purpose of such abundance, ie going to the slaughterhouse or being milked   
   all your life.   
      
   So the more ignorant the happier you are. A cow doesn't worry about those   
   things, but the species homo sapiens does. If the cow knew about it, she may   
   refuse to eat.
