It's said that "ignorance is bliss", but that doesn't mean knowledge is misery!
I recall studies showing that major positive/negative events in people's lives don't really change their overall happiness much in the long run. Likewise, I suspect that seeing things in terms of grim, bitter truths that must be stoically endured has very little to do with what those truths are.
That's a pretty good line!
