The uN-examined life is not worth living....With that correction, I think he meant ignorance is bliss, but how can you live knowing you are living a lie because you never question your reality and think for yourself? Most people would rather let other people do the work for them and think for them. How can you care to live a life without questioning things? There are so many mysteries and wonders in the world, to stay sheltered from all that would be closing yourself off to so many potentiality. But he's Socrates, and I am pretty sure I don't come close to what he thinks he meant.
