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.
