Why do you seek knowledge if 'Ignorance is bliss'?
Answer:
The original quote was "If ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise." The idea was to illustrate that because we know wisdom is not folly, ignorance should physically pain us. There is a story about Socrates that once a man came to him seeking knowledge. Socrates took him into the sea and held him below the water until he was to the point of death. Then Socrates told the man that when he wants wisdom as much as he wanted to breathe, he would have it. That's what this quote means.
The expression Ignorance is Bliss means only that as long as we don't know about something bad it doesn't scare us or make us sad. For all of us engaged in the search for knowledge, ignorance is agony.
