Which is bliss ignorance or knowledge. Would you rather know the truth stay in the dark? Truth is pretty damn scary but not knowing is scarier, I think.

In life there are times when we are weak and other times we are strong, I thinks this goes for everyone. Ignorance is bliss when we are too weak to handle the truth. It all depends where we are in life, and which is best for our survival.

Hi Lore, They say that ignorance is bliss but I don't think it's best. I know that the truth can be scary but I'd rather know the truth. Corruption thrives where there is ignorance and we cannot experience growth unless we know the truth. Blessings.

Hi Lore2009, This is a tough question. I would pick knowledge bliss. If you have all the right answers and can make money off them then ignorance would be a mute point in this question... just my opinion. Now if I was not too smart and learn slowly than I would think ignorance would be bliss because of less worry because you do not know the answers. Thanks and Have a great night! Sincerely unique16

"The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge." - Elbert Hubbard In a strange way I really am satisfied with their own opinions without believing that they have absolute truth yet. Fortunately, in recent years increasingly learn to listen more than others and be flexible enough that my opinions may change if this thing helps me think. Own knowledge I do not remember ever being satisfied and why I still read everything I learned from people who get in contact and I continued to go to different courses. So am I a semi-ignorance.
