Would you rather know too much and hurt everyday, or be happy but know too little?

Lets say if you know too much your days are horrible and filled with frustration. While if you know too little you're happy but in reality, people around you are hiding many things from you.

I like my life as it is. I know enough to be safe in the world, but not so much that I live with fear and grief.

I know my kids tend to keep things from me, because they don't want me worrying. It's hard to make them understand that there are things I actually don't need or even want to know, but there are things that as a parent, I should know. So now I ask specific questions, because once asked they won't lie. Not saying anything and lying are different. One is protecting me, the other is betraying me.
