Wat does this quote mean?

Question

wat does "ignorance is bliss" mean?

Answer 1

it means, what you don't know won't hurt you - or as the author intended, it means - it is better for man to be blissfully ignorant of his fate.

It's from a poem by Thomas Gray

Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College

Answer 2

It means that if you are unaware of things that may upset you, you cannot be upset by them.

Answer 3

If you were going to die, would you want to be sitting in a room for a few hours knowing its gonna happen, just waiting. Or would you prefer someone to randomly bust in and do it?

Answer 4

The moral warning that sometimes the answers we seek only serve to bring us down instead of uplift or satisfy us.  IE my bro is adopted, he thought I want to see my real family, I think they will be cool.  Then he found them and he learned that ignorance is bliss, because he didnt like what he saw.  So in the end he gave the peace out and thanks for not being scraped out and that was it.  Not what he was hoping for or expecting.

Answer 5
