Is Ignorance Bliss?

You know the saying ignorance is bliss but is it really bliss?  I mean sure for the beholder because you are living in ignorance and whatever that is going on in the world would not relate to you because you wouldn't know or care to know anything in the first place but to the world; you are the fool but of course you wouldn't know that.  My father gave me a little lecture which relates to what my sister heard in temple.  He said it in vietnamese of course but it was something like this...my sister asked him what does caring and telling versus not caring and not talking meant.  It basically means if you care for someone then you should be involved and tell them what you think whether you think they are wrong or right and not because you want to be all  up in their business but because you see the path they are following whereas if you don't give a crap about someone then you wouldn't speak a word to them and just ignore them just like an uncaring parent.  He then went on about how my cousin who just got her chiropractor doctor license said in her graduation speech at her party was about how she wouldn't be the person she is or accomplished any of that if it wasn't for her parents always lecturing her and beating her ass to do well in life haha.  Her parents were strict and crazy because they cared and wanted her to succeed and for that she is thankful for her parents harshness and always getting up in her grill.

What about food?!
