True bliss is being able to live the serenity prayer (at least stripped of the religious aspects): the courage to change the things you can, the serenity to accept the things you can’t, and the wisdom to know the difference.
People who feel burdened by knowledge tend to be bad at separating the concept of things that are bad and things that you should actually worry about.
Ignorance of danger might be good for happiness if you’re powerless to stop it. But it might be bad for happiness if you suffer harm that you didn’t have to, just because of your own ignorance. People who live like that sometimes feel like they’re just tossed around by the world, powerless against the forces that affect their lives.
I heard that sentiment a lot the last couple of days, and people were so serious about it. It was mostly because I thought it was common sense to use sun protection with my 3 year old and not let her play out in the sun in a short bathing suit at noon and without a hat. And that I preferred her to wear socks and tucked in pants when they went to a forest with ticks.
You worry too much
Look at us, we also made it here, and our parents didn’t look out for these things
How are people even living nowadays with all their restrictions
Think less you’ll sleep better
Ignorance is bliss, we just don’t overthink it
Your kids all look like tomatoes turning into raisins y’all
Ignorance is bliss as they say.

That’s a cool concept to live by!
