Is Ignorance Truly Bliss?

The truth is the opposite of power.
If everyone knew the truth, there would be no power.
. The power is in the lie.
You get people to believe the truth, you just a messenger.
You get people to believe a lie. You much much more.

I hate getting punched in the head
That's only when using the truth to wield power over people. Truth is power in many ways. The truth about the universe allowed us to produce technology. Learning the truth about chemistry, biology, and physics has given us vaccines, space travel, and indoor heating.
Du, damn with the long ass posts.
I like honesty. I’d rather someone hurt me with the truth than comfort me with a lie.
It sucks because not knowing means you’re still in this mindset where everything is great but soon as you find out, all hell breaks loose and all happiness just shatters.

Its is but it aint real.. the actuality of what is real is potent.. people make careers, livings off of peoples "bliss" one day someone is gonna become pres...
Its also very easy to be good with the lie when its a hypothetical.. and when death is imminent.. because you dont have to live with the consequences of your "bliss" whether one knows it or not that sit dont exist in a vacuum that ignorance effects and changes the course of many things.. the pitfalls you may not know the origin but they are there because.....you chose not to access that information or ignored the writing on the wall

Blissful ignorance allows a person to "let god take the wheel" sort of speak. It relieves the individual of duty and allows one to run away from the challenges of reality.
With that said, the truth does hurt, so I understand people that willfully are ignorant. They be enjoying themselves and of course nobody likes the buzz kill. So they want to stay "sleep" and keep dreaming. Like dude that sold the crew out in the first Matrix.
I'd be lying if I said that my being "woke", street smart, and well read hasn't added weight to certain aspects of my life. It can be annoying, frustrating, disappointing. Ruining or removing things I could otherwise enjoy with a less informed mind. Thing is, in the game of survival that we all are participating in, ignorance will always be a weakness. An exploit that a greater force will always be able use against you.

I'm telling yall.
It's almost a sort of enlightenment....
I'm so tired of the truth, I'm welcoming the lie....
Shower me in a sea of lies & dishonesty....
Is that not what the world already is?
Disappointment after disappointment?
Frustration after frustration?
Betrayal after betrayal?
It's all fucked....
Look at God.
God is a lie.... Jesus isn't real...... So I mean if Jesus is love, does that mean love is not real?
Is love a lie??
That's why I say fuck it...... Lie to me.

Dont drank out my drank, foo
of course it depends on what we're ignorant to, but absolutely
think of kids, people with mental disorders, dare devils, etc....they all share the ability to give ZERO fucks about consequences....they dont know any better so its head first with everything....no fear, no inhibitions, nothing
as a person I can say I was much happier the less I knew about the world and news and shit.....those are the birthplaces of stress and worry and guilt
you ever get caught up in some bad shit? ruin a relationship with ONE action? what if that person NEVER found out and that relationship went on into eternity? all the goals and milestones in life reached together, all because of NOT KNOWING about one thing....one
ignorance is bliss and most people know so fucking much now that I dont think the phrase will ever weigh like it should again

People will disagree that ignorance is bliss until their pastor tells them "trust the Lord and lean not into your own understanding" while taking the morning offering to the dealership for a new Rolls Royce.

Fuck not knowing.
That goes for everything from knowing if your partner is cheating, to whats going on in the world, to understanding the stars and the universe.
I will say though, it took me a while to learn how to deal with knowledge. There was a time in my younger days when I felt like nothing matters after learning how the world works.
I got out of that when I realized that it didnt matter how the world worked, and I had to find a way to get mine and not give a fuck bout the rest. I been getting mine since.
