little cicero sums up my last topic:

This is perfectly consonant with Platonism. Happiness comes from understanding what is real (Forms) and what is not real and living life in reaction to reality rather than the false shadows of illusion and opinion. Essentially, Plato's ethics of ignoring were based on the Heracleitian-inspired metaphysics of recognizing bullshit, and it follows that, if only by accident, increased exposure to life will bring one more to the realization that most of what we are expected to live according to is bullshit.
