Ignorance is Bliss?

I have been wondering lately if ignorance truly is bliss, or if that is a term that was created, such as the term terrorism. Simply put; people who are ignorant believe to be in a blissful state because of their inability to become fully aware of the facts. The little information, which is usually preferred by the ignorant, that is given is sufficient, regardless of the biased or illogical aspects of what is being presented. People who are ignorant lose a lot about themselves, as I have found, because they have closed their minds so tightly that they are unable to see reality. Therefore, they become enclosed in a false world of lies and deceit.

How can someone who lies to them self ever be truly in a state of bliss? Logically and simply put, they can't. It is even worse once the entire concept of ignorance is incorporated and collaborated with lack of education, or rather, stupidity. Now, much of the "stupidity" or people can be put to blame on the knowledge we are taught and the education system itself. People are unable to open their minds to anything other than what they are told, because that is what we in the western world are taught and told to become. It appears to me that everything that is right is wrong, everything in society is backwards. Justice is blind (and I don't mean it in the terms it is meant to be in, rather it is literally blinded by corruption), ignorance is bliss, and fluoride is in our water.
