Why do we live like this? Is it because it's true that ignorance is bliss?

I'm a believer in 'Ignorance is bliss.'

Ignorance is not bliss - it is oblivion.

Ignorance is kind of bliss.

It is better to be kept in the dark and continue on your merry way, than to be told a lie and to be led astray.

It is the devil that will lie to you that ignorance is bliss. The truth is ignorance is not bliss, because ignorance kills. The truth may be bitter or sour, but the truth heals.
