You Can't Handle the Truth!

This is a famous line from the movie A Few Good Men. I just realized recently that there are indeed some truths that we can't handle. So maybe it's better to not just know the truth?

But when does not knowing the truth become irrelevant? When does truth lose its importance? I guess it does when the truth is quite trivial and is overshadowed by a bigger, more significant truth.

If knowing the truth will do more harm than good -- no matter how much I am for the truth -- then I'll probably pass up.
