Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.

Joseph Campbell

Bliss
Extreme or perfect happiness.

The word bliss often collocates with the adjectives domestic and marital, married, or wedded.

  • We’re celebrating 25 years of marital bliss.

Cf. Falsas Gêmeas: MARRIAGE x WEDDING

It is also frequently used with the phrase – somebody’s idea of bliss – and with the adjective sheer, meaning ‘complete’.

  • My idea of bliss is a hot day on a beautiful beach and a cooler full of ice-cold beer.
  • Sinking into a hot tub after a hard day’s work is sheer bliss.

Ignorance is bliss
A common saying which means that sometimes it is better not to know something, because then you cannot worry about it.

  • Some company owners believe that ignorance is bliss and don’t tell their employees when business is bad.

“What´s in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is?
More perhaps than just one moment of BLISS
Tell me, what´s in a kiss?”

(What´s in a kiss – by Gilbert O´Sullivan) –
