If the world was perfect, we wouldn't be alive to begin with.

I really truly wish I could see the world as a perfect, pleasant place to live. I wish I didn't know about all the hate, greed and corruption. I wish I didn't know about famine, disease and war. Without knowing these things, I think I'd be happier, not only for myself, but for everyone. If I don't know people are starving, I could live my whole life thinking everyone is eating as good as I am (Everyday). If that's not bliss, I don't know what is.

Now what's worse...Ignorance or apathy?

I wouldn't want to live in a fantasy world, unknowing of the real world around me. Knowing about these things doesn't affect my life anymore than not knowing.

I think the solution to most, if not all problems in this world, would be simply a severe depopulation. But that's a little off topic.

On ignorance and it leading to bliss, or happiness which is more commonly used, it's more like a case to case basis and not a definite fact applicable to everything. Some people do genuinely want to know the truth and get the facts, even if it causes them misery. But personally, all I want to know is what I want to know. And ignore the rest.
