Topic: Happiness or truth ? (Read 2287 times)
In this abstract experiment I choose happiness, if I need to choose just one for all remaining life.
I would choose the truth, it sets us free. The freedom to know the reality, and eventually it will make us happy without having regrets.
I am a man who likes to be in control of situations, so based on my character I would choose to know the truth. I have experienced however that the truth can sometimes be hard to bear. Thus in certain situation where the truth would be so shattering that it would destroy my comforting life, I would choose happiness.
if I prefer truth
It is not always good to be happy for something that is not even true so I would rather choose the truth then even if it means that I will be hurt.
Happiness is more important. There are so many sad things. If somebody lies to me and makes surprise he will do it!

i choose to be a happy man
It depends on the situation. The truth can be the happiness of yours. At first its hurt but that will be your key to your happiness.
Life full of lies is unlivable even though its a happy one, it'll break you in the end

That's a hard question worth thinking about. I think truth is more important, but life without happiness isn't life at all.
There's a Russian proverb that's hard to translate, but it sounds like that:

Some time be in happiness its good specially for the sick peoples they don't want live in the truth.
the truth. because you will be more happy to get the truth from on happy over the lies
They said you can't have both, so what would you choose??
|I can go for Truth, Because its good Idea to know more about the truth than just to turn the trends you are experiencing now. Happiness is just a moment not like Truth which will serve you strength everyday.
Youll be more happy knowing about the truth than being lied on.
Truth is always the right choice. If you know the truth you can be happy with that or even sad but if your sad you can make a thing to make the truth right and make your self happy.
Truth because it's bring happiness.
happiness can not be bought with money
They said you can't have both, so what would you choose??
if I want to be both of them. want to be happy and the truth is my first priority.
Both are equally important. With happiness and the truth of life will be comfortable and peaceful.
Both if possible but to be exact and realistic, truth is more important for sure.
i choose truth
for Happiness
for Happiness
I think they are connected and here is why...
Do you think that you can be happy, but actually you live in a illusion that you know the truth? Or, if you already know the truth, are you gonna be able to be happy?
This two things are definitely connected and you can not separate them. I am sure that if you know the truth, even if it is crude, you will be more happy at the end of the day, instead to be happy for weeks or months about something that at end will be actually a lie!

Truth is much better than the happiness.
I think it's possible to have both, good balance is essential
Truth for sure.
I like to have both. Why I have to choose?
Yeah, you can have both. Be smart and act like you don't know the truth , thats all.
Truth! Everybody has there own perspective when it comes to knowing the truth
Happiness. Life is too short to be worried.
Happiness
Oh this is good one. Truth
Who needs truth when u got happiness?
Truth
truth ofc.
Always the truth.
I would have truth. Being ignorant does bring bliss, but in the end you're still just unknowing of what's real.
They said you can't have both, so what would you choose??
Well you could tell lies and be happy for a short time but finally they will discover your lies... So Truth first
Always truth as with truth u can reach happiness.
happiness I think is better than truth because a happy life a way better than a painful life knowing all the truth.
I like truth always as truth is the key of happiness. I also like the persons who used to speak truth all the time and it also gives me the happiness.
Ttruth, becuz to much answer in my head about the world.
Truth, no point in happiness if I'm living a lie.
Hapiness is just relative. Being honest is the way you should live.

truth leads to happiness remember that
bullshit. Thats a fallacy that ignorant people tell themselves when they are lying to themselves.
The cost of truth is suffering. It is up to the individual whether they transmute that suffering, but the end game is not happiness. Truth costs. You must sacrifice in order to obtain.
You're both using extremes. But I agree with him that truth eventually leads to happiness. Or more exactly, leads to real happiness not based on illusions. But that doesn't mean you won't have to deal with suffering at all, or that you always suffer when you see the truth.
Happiness over anything and everything .Probably if i told truth and died the next day I'd regret my choice .Having choose to be happy and died I'd still be happy as I won't regret my decision .At the end of the day,you live because you want to be happy.Everything in the world we do is indirectly linked to our happiness.We do great things or probably some do drugs just to be happy.So yeah Happiness over anything.
You can't speak for everybody when you say everything we do is to be happy.
Not me. I live to evolve. I live to become the greatest person I can become. I have learned earlier in my journey this does NOT mean happiness no matter what. To be great, you have to realize if you are chasing happiness, you are naturally suppressing the polarity of it. Which is unhappiness. By suppressing this unhappiness, you suffer, whether you are conscious of it or not. Its better to be neutral in life than to always strive to be happy.
That being said, its not bad to pursue joy. But one must be aware of the consequences. Every action as a reaction.

truth maybe bitter at first but it will repair anything, so truth is great to do
then after the bitter truth, words can be fixed with some sweet sentences to heal the hurt

Who is they and why can't you have both? I'd rather be happy over anything else any way.

Truth. Happiness built on false premises is temporary.
