Black or White? Its Actually Grey!

I came across a new philosophy recently - 'knowing less is better' . Any idea what it means? Well in one way it actually means knowing less is actually better! Now before you start making judgments or think that I have lost it maybe just try to understand what this is all about!  THE PRESSURE TO KNOW EVERYTHING-  These days we live in a world where there is an invisible pressure on all of us to be our best, do our best, and hence know all that we can know in the world, aka be a real smart ass .

Well, some might say no but the majority of the people don’t accept it or are not even open to the idea of homosexuality, why? What do people find wrong in this?
