The headline sounds like just another sensationalist partisan politically-biased virtue-signaling headline—like millions of others—like ten thousand Russiagate (fake news) headlines, which means it sounds like business as usual for the MSM.
However, that quote sounds like it could help pierce the illusion of legitimacy, which means it sounds too good to be true, which usually means it isn't true. So, instead of blindly repeating it, I looked it up, and Wikiquote links to the source—a 2016 MSM article by one MSM employee, in which he says he was told these words in private in 1994. In other words, the quote is unsubstantiated, and those who repeat it do so because they want to believe.
Imagine ...
the peaceful bliss of one who never knows such disappointment ...
who simply believes ...
We can see why some would blindly repeat such fake news.
So many, trying so hard, to ensure they blindly conform to all the fake beliefs of the mainstream narrative ... is the genesis of the term: NPC; whereas, Real People don't want fake beliefs.
Nevertheless, pretty much everyone was at least mostly an NPC at one time, so Real People look forward to more NPCs awakening to reality.
Everyone is at a different point in their journey, and though many have lost lost their way—everyone is redeemable.
