Its given to us if we are lucky at times the ability to see things more or less as they really are rather than through our usual often distorted perspective. However when we see things that well we may encounter other issues as others often do not want to see the reality of the situation.

So is ignorance bliss? In my experience no. Some times even the wrong idea instead of no idea at all is a reasonable starting place. We are so used to others spoon feeding us through almost every second that we are awake until we drift off to slumber at the close. If you have a wrong idea you have at least a chance of finding a right one along the way.
