Introduction: What is Bliss?
bliss
noun \ˈblis\: complete happiness
The Merriam Webster Free Dictionary defines bliss as complete happiness.
[1] A closer look at the definition reveals that bliss is a noun—a person, place or thing. So, unless your name is Bliss or you are taking a trip to a city in Idaho, we’ll just consider bliss to be a thing. It’s actually a state of being or a frame of mind.
Ignorance Is Bliss
is a popular phrase describing a state of euphoria one may find in not being aware of or able to predict situations that may arise to claim one’s happiness. This phrase comes from a poem by Thomas Grey, in which he wrote,
Yet ah! Why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise
Excerpt from Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College
by Thomas Gray.[2]

Bliss is a state of being that can only be achieved once you know and understand what complete happiness means.
