Ignorance is bliss.
I defintely agree that those who are ignorante live easier life than the self aware ones.
Must be nice.
I think you'd be interested in Schopenhauer

Imho Luck, Environment and Money plays the biggest role. I just wish I had any one of these 3 right.

I don't necessarily think it's that you have to be stupid. I live amongst some very intelligent people. They figured life out. They did on their own or more likely had strong, instructive families. What we see never occurs to them. I think this will be an interesting discussion.
Life doesn't seem worth it to me, but if i kept the blessings i had I wouldn't feel that way. To some extent because I've always been sad but not like this.

I don't know. One thing I've noticed about my shifts between suicidality/depression and mental well-being isn't an inherent ignorance of the world, but rather being able to deal with the horrors of the world in a different way, not letting them affect you as much. One song I've always held close is Why Worry by Set It Off, which I believe more or less promotes the message that there is too much in this world we cannot change, so rather than trying to change it, we just focus on what we can change. Tuning out the catastrophizing thoughts that force us down and into a place of despair. Maybe that view is an embodiment of complacency, it certainly shifts between moments, I have moments where I'm doing fine and am hit with the sudden desire to die. That's where it really feels like suicide becomes a possibility, not because the world is bad or that I am bad, but because, in that moment, I've lost the desire to live. Using the world as justification for my suicide was never something I could do, but rather considering my own despair and attitude towards life.
