Why? When I ignore my problems they magically disappear.
Happiness is paying attention to the 90% of life that is going well, and not the 10% that is upsetting you. Because it is rare that all spheres of life are perfect at any given time. If you are always focused on fixing your problems, you won't have any time to enjoy the solutions to the other things you've figured out.
Ignoring problems is actually a good life strategy in SOME ways. If you can't change the problem, then focusing on it is just going to make you miserable.
Ignoring other problems can make them worse, however. It takes wisdom to figure out what to address and what to ignore.
