Is ignorance bliss?
Long I have puzzled.
Do we choose the ease of not knowing?
Or the nobility of truth?
Ultimately, we all long for happiness.
So choose truth,
For how can happiness exist in illusion?
Or choose ignorance
For if we are truly ignorant, isn't our illusion
Our reality?
Long I have puzzled,
To find there is no difference.

Hi!
Interesting questions. Personally, I don't believe that being ignorant is necessarily
synonymous with living an illusion. It's simply the state of being uninformed. I think
the cliché just means, that sometimes knowing the truth is harder to deal with than
being oblivious to the question. If that makes sense.
Great post. Very provocative. And I confess, sometimes I miss ignorance. I truly do.
