Question of the Day

Is it true that ignorance is bliss? Agree or disagree and explain. Use quotations, research, and use imagery. 

        

        Yes, I believe the statement, "ignorance is bliss" is true. "Ignorance is bliss" because you block out all the problems around you and live like nothing bad is going on around you. In reality, a lot of bad stuff is happening;  children are starving across the world, people are left homeless, people have their heart broken, some people even suffer from depression. But this stuff would not affect you and you would not notice that it's going on if you live "ignorance is bliss."

Living as "ignorance is bliss" is like living in a narrow tunnel or having a narrow mind. You have no idea of whats going on in the world aroundyou. You avoid all problems, so you can be happy in your own world. You will never truly live your life to the fullest, you may be happy but you will never help other or try to solve problems.

I may agree with the statement but I don't think you should use this statement as your moto for life. I think if you live this way you are a selfish person and don't care about others. If more people or even everyone lived by this our world would be a much worse place to live. As of now, we have it good especially in Canada. Being a free country, we have many rights where in other countries people don't have it like us, they still slave to higher power.

People out supporting the community and one another; definately not living by the statement

From personal experience with the tornado in Goderich, nobody would help one another if we lived this way. Families would still be cleaning up and fixing their homes if they had to do it all by themselves. The town has made a good come back so far, but without everyone making an effort to help everyone and clean up other parts of the town not just their own property we would still be suffering a lot worse then we are now. This shows the community and most people surrounding Goderich don't live by this statement. I'm thankful to have the life I have but I could never live such a narrow minded life. I always want to help people  with their problems and I like knowing the news and what happens around us.
