for example, you could learn about truths that hurt you. Ever heard the expression ignorance is bliss ? There's some truth to that. So yes you can have so much knownledge that it could possibly make you miserable. But on the flip side, if someonething were to make you feel better, it would just take more knowledge. So can never go wrong with inquiry.

Also just in case you're wondering "why not just stay in ignorance" you don't want to do that because at least being intelligent, you will seek out solutions and weighing options. A lot of ignorant people crash when it comes to dealing with problems. Never be too satisfied or too comfortable with your dealings in life. You should always be moving.
