If you had to choose between Truth or Happiness

    If suddenly you were confronted by someone who could grant it, and offered these two choices, which would you choose (if either).

    1. (Truth) You can have the answers to all of your questions, know and understand the absolute truth about all things, who we are, where we came from and how it all happened, and most importantly, you will be able to comprehend why. the price of this insight is not cheap... you must leave behind everything you know; family, friends, pets, property, all things you value, you do not get to say goodbye and you will never see any of them again.

    Or.

    2. (Happiness) You get to live your life out as a regular mortal human, but in a state of bliss, in total happiness devoid of nagging questions and sleepless nights, no worries and nothing at all will trouble you for as long as you live, totally content and without a want in the world.

    Which would you choose?

    I think you need truth. Sometimes the truth can hurt..

    but eventually any happiness based on an untruth can come to light, thus breaking all illusions and spoiling your happiness

    Neither can happen. We can only strive for happiness but the bad will come to us all and we will never know the real truth of it all.

    That is the real truth.
