Because we are curious. And, because "Knowledge is power."

Ignorance of unpleasant information is blissful, even though it sometimes hurts. When we remedy the ignorance with knowledge we have to deal with the facts. We seek knowledge so we can answer these questions.

Because most of knowledge is only part of the truth. We see and hear only the things we want to. It's impossible for one human to have complete knowledge of another human, or complete knowledge of any subject. Thus we live in a world with truth scattered around us in bits and pieces. And when we find it, we tell ourselves this is the truth, not realizing it's only a piece of the truth. So we remain ignorant.

It is only bliss if the piece of information we don't know is bad or negative.....
What if the thing you're ignorant of could improve your life or someone else's life? Then ignorance would be a shame. Correct?

It's better to know and to deal with the pain and joy that comes with knowing, than to lay in a death bed many years from now a blissful soul, but still grappling with the one question that has haunted you through the ages, "What was in that apple pie?"

people like to think they'd rather know the truth than stay in ignorant bliss, but we know that's not true in most cases

because we love pain??? seriously, i think it means that ignorant people aren't smart enough to know truth.
