"Where ignorance is bliss‚ ’tis folly to be wise”. Extracted from Thomas Gray’s poem‚ ‘Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College’‚ this adage is an existential conundrum ("the definition of ignorance is bliss"‚ 2016) .

As my grandmother always told me‚ "Ignorance is only bliss until you learn the truth." We’ve all grown up hearing both phrases "ignorance is bliss" and "knowledge is power" but we’re never told which is more valid. In my opinion‚ both are true as general principles‚ but there are exceptions to every rule. Ignorance is bliss‚ yes indeed. Ignorant people can be happy because they only need to see one side of an issue. Those who are ignorant choose to have no idea what is going on around them. When

Most people have been told that “Ignorance is bliss” but has any one ever questioned if it actually is? It is not‚ ignorance is never as blissful as it seems. Ignorance can be compared to being trapped in a prison of someone’s own mind where no man is ever truly free; he will always be imprisoned either by ignorance or by education. Authors such as Plato‚ Fredric Douglass‚ and Sherry Turkle all have faced bouts of ignorance but have overcome them through the want and drive to learn. Throughout Plato’s
