Ignorance is bliss. I said it, i stand by it. But ignorance is also ignorance. And it blocks out the wisdom, knowledge and curiosity that makes the world so much rounder. Truth is, I'd trade bliss any day for all the pain and happiness of understanding, experience, not understanding, struggling and fighting of how things are and why. People like you and me suffer from this as much as they thrive from it. So how do we deal with us and the society? All the customs and rules that others seem to to live by unquestioned?
For me, that answer is: Pick you battles.
Fight for it when it's worth it and let it go when it's not. I cannot choose ignorance, but i can choose "let it be". There is a reason why we spend talking through half of the night with some people about god and the world and choose more profane things with others. And that's ok. You can't win every battle, but you always have the (wisdom of) choice. And that can be a much greater gift than unconditional bliss.

I of course cannot tell you a recipe for how to deal with it but my thoughts are as follows: Ignorance is the easy way out. Or at least so it seems. But it wouldn't make you happy since you are way past unconditional surrender to mindless simplicity. Instead, embrace the joy and happiness you can get from understanding the world, wanting to know how it works and the endless curiosity. Pick the battles you really care about and fight them with a smile. Never forget how much more alive you are with every step you take, how much you can grow and how much more you can experience. And the happiness that you will get from that is f***ing contagious. ;)
This does not lead to bliss (and ignorance) but to enlightenment.
And that's how you can hold an angry rant with a smile on your face. Not a smile of cynicism but a smile of possibilities.
