I second Kao. This is how I have always seen it. (apart from the appreciating the pet aspect lol.)
I'd add that knowing about things could be useful in order to know what is coming or how to adjust to be under the radar or evade certain stuff as much as possible. It is not a coincidence that the conquerors shifted the way sorcerers developed in South America (DJ commented on this in CC's books). But I also think that it is sometimes possible to also evade dangers we do not need to even be aware of specifically.
All in all, we live in a great age. No one is on the path of eradicating us / specifically making it their mission to kill us off. We have the most freedom one could have in centuries.
Just thinking of the witch's hunts or the cycles of hunts for people of power that the world has gone through in the past helps me be thankful for the present
