"Ignorance can be bliss"

Letter to the Times:

Why does Professor Richard Dawkins begrudge us our delusions?  Knowledge is not necessarily a solution.

If I believe that my husband adores me, whereas in fact, he regards me as a part of the furniture, who benefits by having this explained to me?

There is universal benefit in a simple thought that there is a last resort to which one appeals when desperate.  Millions do this and have this need.
