Would You Rather Be Right or Happy?

Similar question that I was asked recently: Would you rather have the answers or find love?

I was reading a blog and it mentioned that one should strive to be righteous, not right all the time.  “Seek to be righteous, not right. The need to be “right” speaks of arrogance, insecurity, ego and stupidity. It’s also synonymous with failure. The person who constantly needs to be right will miss out on much of what life has to teach him and alienate himself from others. Arrogance repels, humility attracts.” I agree with that part. It’s hard to fall in love with someone who has to be right all the time, no matter what the actual answer is.

I don’t know what I would do if presented with the opportunity to have infinite wisdom, in a Faustian sense, or find my own true love. Let’s believe that both things are possible for this exercise. I probably should write more on the fact that as a post-positivist, I do not believe in the possibility of knowing everything. There is no objectivity, and knowledge is colored by our subjective minds, as is the right and wrong answer, etc. So to know everything, would be to be everyone, and think like them, at exactly the same moment. In a way, it would be like being god.

Back to the real post:

What would you choose? All the knowledge in the world? Or a soulmate? As for right vs. happy, I like to think of as something tricky, something a genie or a fae would ask me. The question isn’t so simple. For example, I say I want to be happy, and then my serotonin/dopamine never shuts off.  Happy, happy all the time. Sort of like that “natural male enhancement” dude.

But then I would be wrong about everything. Because you know, you can have either/or and genies love to fuck you over. So my happy hormones are in over drive, but then I’m wrong, and I know it, but I also can’t feel bad about it. Someone dies, and I cannot stop laughing. I might even laugh during sex too, just because.  Relationships, work, everything gets ruined. I can’t even do a minute of silence. I’d be yelling inside my own head to calm down, be serious, be right, but nothing comes out.

Ahh…

To be honest, I think I would rather have love, than answers. To me, that has been the only question of my life.
