If ignorance is a bliss, then why do we seek knowledge? Any good answers?

Ignorance not bliss. Jerri's concise and precise answer sums it all up very nicely.

And ignorance is part of the reason why some of the poor remain in the rut that they are in. Good attitude and Knowledge gives them the power to get out of that rut, instead of whining incessantly over how bad life is, always comparing themselves to others but forgetting to compare "apples with apples", etc.

Because from knowledge comes understanding, to bring about change, to give you power. To be without knowledge invites defeat.

Why you are asking about such out dated proverbs? If you think that ignorance is a bliss then why did you ask this question? Now we are in the end of 2008 where knowledge is so important.

As Egnorance is = No Kowledge

Then it is a blessing as long as you do not know what you do not know.

Once you know what you did not know before that..Then you will know what you did not know and become interested in knowing more ( here I must point out: the more you know the more you become aware of how much you dont know and did not know )...

So for some, Yes it is a blessing not to know and stay egnorent as they will not be able to accept All what they do not know if they knew it.

Makes sence to me...did it to you...!

This is a "stone-age" saying my friend.

Today, if you are ignorant or trying to be one, it is no more a bliss - take my word.

In current times, 'knowledge' is 'money'.

Therefore it is upto you how much money you wish to earn for yourself..
