Ignorant Knowledge

Ignorance is bliss/Knowledge is power

"Ignorance is bliss" is credited to the English poet Thomas Gray (1716-1771) and everyone can relate to the simplicity of ignorance and innocence. The more we learn, the more realize we do not know. The philosopher, Francis Bacon, Sr. said "knowledge is power" and we all know that G.I Joe believes "knowing is half the battle." Are both ignorance and knowledge equal and valid in their impact on our lives? How big is the space between the two?
