Ignorance is or equals happiness.
When you don't know something, it's better that way.
For example,
If someone said a horrible rumor about you, and you didn't know. It would be better that way so you can avoid a fight and trouble because someone said that about you.
You don't have to worry about why he or she said that about you.

If you are ignorant, it means you don't know something. Some people think that not knowing anything is blissful, or in the state of being completely content. If you are ignorant you don't have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Therefore, it is bliss. Does this even make any sense? LOL good luck....

Ignorance is bliss.
A common saying. Ignorance means unknowing or naive.
Bliss basically means a great thing in this saying.
So it means Not knowing is a great thing. Or you're better off not knowing.
Example, when a child overhears a conversation meant for adult ears only and asks one adult out of curiosity, the adult may laugh and say "Ah.... ignorance is bliss."

It suggests that the less one knows, the better off they will be. This is, of course, a fallacy. Just because one does not KNOW they have cancer does not make them less likely to die. In fact, the earlier a person gets his cancer diagnosis, the more likely that person will get the treatment needed to survive the disease.
The "bliss" suggested in the phrase is only temporary.

It means the less you know about how the world really works and how people really are, the happier you will be. For example: if you were ignorant to the fact that people were murderers and rapists, you would have a brighter outlook on the human race.

It basically means that sometimes hearing the truth or hearing about something in the news will depress you. Ignorance means having no knowledge of something. So there you go, sometimes not knowing something makes you happier!

It's a phrase that means that if you don't knowing something bad, then you're happy.
For example, if the world were coming to an end and you didn't know, you have no reason to be upset because you are ignorant that it is.

I means that it is great to be stupid/uninformed . It is better not to know about something arb. than to know and panic about it.
Example you think that your accountant has done some really creative accounting for tax evasion purposes only to find out at the end of the tax year that the Taxman was brighter and caught you out.
