The more I learn the happier I am. It's true for me anyways. The more I can grow and try to understand or learn new ways to think, the more at peace I am. I don't believe ignorance is bliss at all. If that were true then what is going on with some of the wisest most peacful beings? But I think you spoke about this above, in a different way.

The more knowledge you have the more you might realize that you have options and choices, especially about how you "see" things and how you experience or perceive them.
