Ignorance
So, I've recently heard a term that I don't quite agree with,"Ignorance is bliss." I disagree with this statement because, if you're ignorant of the murderer sneaking up behind you, I doubt you'll be blissful within the next few moments after he stabs you in the back. Now, of course I know this refers to more political issues like global warming, pollution, natural disasters, epidemics and the democratic issues we have today. Well, you know, I don't think being ignorant of those topics leads you to be very blissful either. Most, if not all, of them can get you or others killed for said ignorance. In my opinion people should be a bit more involved with the problems of the world, although it's somewhat depressing to know the truth, guess what; the truth hurts sometimes. That's life. So, if you believe in the saying "Ignorance is bliss" go ahead, I'm just saying, sometimes ignorance makes the bliss very short lived.

Yeah, I have heard of that saying. I also agree that it does not make sense and is not true. How is it that being ignorant will make you happy and successful in life. Maybe because if you don't really care about anything, life is going to be great for you. That kind of makes sense but I also agree with you.
