Ignorance is bliss because if you don't know something, it can't hurt you. Knowledge does not automatically bring happiness.

Ignorance is bliss

Not knowing something is often more comfortable than knowing it.

This proverb resembles “What you don’t know cannot hurt you.” It figures in a passage from “On a Distant Prospect of Eton College,” by the eighteenth-century English poet Thomas Gray: “Where ignorance is bliss, / ‘Tis folly to be wise.’”
