Ignorance Isn'T Bliss

Ignorance isn't bliss. Ignorance is only paradise to the giver, not to the receiver. In result of hearing the venomous words, his formerly blissful emotions become contaminated, as emotions turn from gold to tar. His black, acid eaten emotions are clearly shown on his face, as his gateway of tears are struggling to compress and hold back, threatening to drown the ignorant. But if he lets go, if the dam for his tears crack and collapse, his tears would only be a shallow puddle, not even covering the giver of ignorance's shoes. But the giver still smirks in satisfaction aware of his reaction as the receiver tries so hard not to break down and crumble at his feet.
