Is ignorance bliss?

Is it really true? Is it better not to know much at all? Because if you know too much, you can't ignore it, try as hard as you may. Good or bad, it influences your outlook on someone, some place, anything...

Superstitions, other people's opinions, the real faces of people... Changes your perspective... The person you thought was your friend turns out to have a hidden agenda... A superstitious tradition that makes you think twice about doing something that would have been normal 30 seconds before... Reading medical articles and ending up convinced that you have the 15-million-to-one disease...

Perhaps ignorance is bliss after all. No hurt. Just happy in one's own thoughts. No need to worry about others' opinions, comments, thoughts...

I will just crawl back under the shell and be content with ignorance...
