Isn't there a miraculous feeling that rises within you when you stumble upon an intriguing mystery. Some may find this reading stories, others may see it simply when an aspect of life confounds them to craving the truth, but most commonly I would think is merely when our eyes land upon an interesting person and we wonder what that person is like. It's that really cheesy, simple crush you have on a person, where they have that look to them that is intriguing, a beauty of its own level, and we often imagine ourselves going and speaking to the person. We imagine what we would say, and how they would respond. A clever introduction we may think up and of course they'll play along. We imagine these people that, because they are interesting, that they might have that one personality that fits snuggly with our own. We hope for it, and at times we allow our thoughts to lead us to such a heavenly little world that we forget to live in our own time. The mystery is wonderful, but is it better than knowing?
Knowing of my obsession with House, it shouldn't surprise you that I'm going to compare this situation to an episode within Season 4. House is treating a magician who has a few tricks that even House can't understand. At first he scolds the magician for being a fraud, saying that he's cheating people by lying to them, to which the magician answers that he is not cheating them because he is giving them what they want. People enjoy mystery, they love it, and the fact that they don't know or understand creates a euphoric feeling. There is something wonderful that we can't explain, but it's wonderful, so why must we explain it? As the episode goes on and the magician gets worse, House finally figures out the disease that is so ailing him, to which, he smiles and tells the magician:
House: Trust me, it's way cooler to know.
I have found little about this fictional TV character that I disagree with, and I therefore agree. Sometimes its a drag to discover that your dreams aren't fulfilled in a person, but it could lead to something better. So, perhaps this week I'm going to take another page out of House's book and relinquish the mystery and delve into the known. Hopefully some good things await me.
