Where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise
was running through 2 of the blogs and both have a common feeling that ignorance is a bliss.
is ignorance really a bliss? it is probably a bliss when you know that the outcome/result is not what you wanted. if it turns out to be your ideal answer, won't it be a bliss to know? when we can't handle a situation, we choose to avoid/escape and ignore.
however, won't it be better to know even it is not good because at least you are not cheated. some may think "so long i don't know, i can pretend that it has not happen before."

isn't this fooling yourself?

It is rightly said that, ignorance bliss, knowledge worry. There is the translation of persian saying " wise worries about the world, world worry about the foolish or stupid".
when anyone says he does not know, actually he wants to free himself. He does not want to be scapegoat. knowledge imposes responsibility. ignorant wants to free from all sorts of responsibilities. Suppose, a woman knows driving. but, when it is asked that whether u can drive a car, she simply denies and says No. i dont know, how to drive, because she knows if she says Yes then she has to carry her children, she would have to go for shopping etc. so only replying in a negative manner. she saves herself from different sorts of responsibilities. So, this statement is impregnated with truism.
