Knowledge (but sorrow) or Ignorance (but bliss) ?

Would you rather have knowledge and feel sorrow, or have ignorance but feel bliss?

In my opinion, I would rather have knowledge but feel sorrow. When you have knowledge, you have power, based on the quote by Francis Bacon. You have the power to do anything you like, although you might feel sorrow. Being ignorance but feel bliss is like being stupid, but being happy. Being stupid can lead to death, because if you are stupid and ignorant, you wont know pretty much anything. For example, you are ignorant, and you wrote a racist comment on the internet without knowing it is racist. The people against racism will take immediate action.. which MAY lead to death. Or if you thought a pool of scalding hot water (maybe japanese onsen?) was just a regular swimming pool. That would definitely kill you. -Angie
