ignorance is never bliss

At the end of the novel Wright comes to the realization that the world is never what it seems to be. He feels like no matter what people will never be able to unite. He knows that the best way to make sense of everything for him is to write. He starts to and he tries, but he can’t. He says he will sit and wait until he can because he knows it is the best way to figure out the world. He knows that if he can help himself through writing, he can maybe help others when they read it. The more people that can make sense of the meaningless suffering, the more connected and less superficial people can become.
I agree that Wright needs to continue to try to write and try to figure out what is happening because that is the only way he will ever feel accomplished or satisfied. Everyone needs to continue to do what helps them make sense of the world, because without anyone making sense, the world and people would be walking around being unaware of their surrounding, and being uninformed and ignorant.
