Is ignorance bliss???

This question have been confusing me from my school days.......
Well ignorance may be bliss or may not...... Its like two parallel mirrors placed against each other...... There is no real answer to this question........
Ignorance is really bliss if v approach it the following way:
1.Will u take the journey if u know it's gonna end??? If u r ignorant of the ending u'll surely pursue the journey....
2.In The Matrix a character named Cypher tells"I know that this steak doesn't exist..... Wen i eat it the matrix tells my mind tat its tasty nd juicy...... After 9 yeatrs u know wat i realise?? Ignarance is bliss"..... Cypher is indeed correct.......
3.A 50 year old man with psychotic problems will have the mindset of a 3yr old child nd would enjoy the life with carelessness nd enthusiasm nd happiness of a 3rd yr old child....... On the other hand a normal 50 yr old man with normal responsibilities would surely have a stressful life......
4.Children r usually very happy because they r unaware of wats going on around them..... as they grow up they learn emotions nd the result is they get hurt.....
5.A woman who has lost her entire family still goes to work nd cooks food for the entire family nd also does shopping for the family thinking tat they r alive....... She is very happy at this illusion..... If she realises the reality all she gets is sadness only....... So ignorance is bliss.....

Ignorance is wen u see a black card alone..... It's not dark unless u compare it with a white card..... This is the difference between ignorance nd education......

On the other hand,ignorance is not truly bliss too.......
Ignorance is like staying in the dark nd having in mind tat being in the dark is the best thing in the world..... But it's not...... It's like cheating ourseles......
Ignorance is bliss because it gives u happiness by masking reality......
But ignorance doesn't gives u true happiness...... True happiness is achieved only by feeling nd not by thought.......
Being ignorant one can never achieve anything in his/her life......
If a person ignorant he'll surely feel the reality once nd will feel a lot for sure......
so one can argue in both ways.....
But i still wonder "is ignorance really bliss???"

thinking about ignorance is just a paradox....by the time u get to know that ignorance wud have been a bliss...u would've been polluted with knowledge...so thinking about it is just pointless...
