About This Quote
This quote reminds us that there are certain things that we do not want to know, just because we are afraid of the answers. For example, it is generally not a good idea to ask someone if they are cheating on their spouse. Most people don't want to hear the answer, but they do it anyway because they are afraid of hearing the truth.
