There are things which it is better for man not to know or to experience. About such things the Scriptures said, “he who increases knowledge increases sorrow” (Eccel 1: 18).
Satan said to Eve, “in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened.”, and it would have been better for them had they not have their eyes opened to that kind of knowledge.
It is much better for man to know only good. He would live in happiness and would love the others because he sees only the good in them.
—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
