Thought: If ignorance is bliss, then most people must be ecstatic.
The Sage has a talent for exposing the cracks in everyday wisdom. This thought takes the age-old saying “ignorance is bliss” and pushes it a little further, hinting that if true, the world should be overflowing with happiness — and perhaps explains why so many people walk around smiling at the wrong things.
It’s not really an insult, more of a playful observation about how we all muddle through life. None of us can know everything, and pretending otherwise often leads to sillier mistakes than simply admitting our limits. The Sage would argue that ignorance isn’t just bliss — it’s universal.
Still, he reminds us not to take it too seriously. If everyone else is happily ignorant, then perhaps the cleverest thing you can do is join them… preferably with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
