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.
Ignorance is bliss as they say.

That’s a cool concept to live by!
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I’ve found Serenity
And you can’t take the sky from me
