: If ignorance is bliss, why aren't people happier?

The old quote doesn't make sense incorrectly quoted:

"To each his suff'rings; all are men,
Condemn'd alike to groan,--
The tender for another's pain,
Th' unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate,
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies?
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise."

Thomas Gray "On a Distant Prospect of Eton College" 1742.
