>> She thought all of us might be better off without it, as then we too would know a freedom of thought. That is not a bad thing to wish for people, to wish them a chance to know something they cannot now know. To wish them a chance to be naive.
Exactly. If I said "I think you would be better off wishing for a bicycle when you blow the candles out on your birthday cake," does that really mean that you really would be or is it just my opinion. I am just trying to help you consider alternatives that you might not, from my perspective, have contemplated.
>But is that something they wish for themselves?
That doesn't change that.
