It means sometimes when you know something it brings nothing but headaches...so not knowing is "bliss" or happy.

Ignorance is bliss is a phrase that comes from Thomas Gray's poem, "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" (1742): "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."

Well, how many times have you regretted learning something? For example, what that hottie really thinks of you.... now weren't you happier when you didn't know?

It means that not knowing is often better than knowing.
