Nowhere in my comment or in the literature does anyone advocate ignorance or avoidance of reality.

I understand the difference between advocating something and stating facts or results of a study objectively.

For example, you refer to this blog where religion is mentioned which can be considered as both avoidance of reality and ignorance. I am not saying you or anybody advocates it.

And I just want to point out that many of these "happiness recipes" have no science behind them or at best some misinterpretation of a study. But I still agree that there are some legit studies as well (which are common-sense anyway though).
