TRUTH

Resolved: The pursuit of truth should
superceed the pursuit of happiness...

Something I feel in my gut, but how
do I go about making a case for it?

One angle: Truth can lead to Happiness,
but not vice versa.

Another: Survival a prerequisite of
both, and placing Happiness over Truth
can be contra-survival.


            You can't get away forever with living a life based
            on lies and misconceptions.
            Eventually the bullshit will hit the fan.

            "Well, if a fundamentalist
            is happy with their beliefs, what's wrong with
            that?"  But what happens if it turns out that
            one of their kids is gay?

            You can try to ignore reality, or try to ignore it
            selectively as most people do, but eventually reality
            isn't going to ignore you...
