2016-10-30 at 3:44 AM UTC in I just listened to the sounds of a tropic beach for half an hour
How is the ocean even dark and unnerving. I've been to the sea recently, i literally live a short drive from the coast. And i had this overwhelming urge to touch the water. As i did, i felt the most wondrous sensation of being connected to everything and touching the entire planet. It was awesome. Almost spiritual even. I consider myself lucky to be part of something bigger than me, as in the Universe big. Isn't is special that by chance, something in the Universe was created that has the capacity to understand the Universe itself? It's almost as if the Universe wants to understand itself.
I know of no deeper spiritual feeling than what that realization brings to me. It's true, in a way your are the universe trying to understand itself. -

2016-10-29 at 5:59 AM UTC in Real Talk: The TruthI think the naked truth is that neither learning the truth or finding happiness is inherently better or more important than the other, whichever a person prefers is simply their personal preference and neither really matter in a way that goes beyond that, at least as far as we are able to tell. Sadly, some people don't know which they truly prefer; sometimes after regretfully learning the truth a person might realize they prefer the happiness they had before, while others who may already blissfully ignorant would prefer to discover truths they are not aware of.

really bro? maybe if you have to ask how to react, the best course of action is not to react.
maybe you are right. -

2016-10-28 at 9:34 PM UTC in Real Talk: The TruthTell me if I'm understanding you correctly; you're saying a part of you would rather be happy even if that means not knowing the truth, while another part of you believes that the truth is more important than happiness, and this conflict is causing you to experience cognitive dissonance. If I'm understanding you correctly, that's interesting. The next question this brings to my mind is which one should be more important, happiness or truth? Or does it even matter?

IRL is superior because it takes away a lot of the anxiety of not knowing if the person is actually who they say they are, or even who I perceive them to be.
It's not like girls ever lie about who they are or act in a certain way around you to trick you into liking them or wear makeup and pushup bras to disguise how they really look. -

You need to make the distinction between telling the truth and the truth itself. I would argue that telling the truth is not universally preferable, because if someone means you or someone else harm and you can protect them by telling a lie i think you should.
Maybe this is situational. In this hypothetical situation, this persons happiness appears to be more important to you than telling the truth and dealing with the consequences, therefore in such a situation we could say that you prefer this persons happiness over telling the truth. In a word, "telling the truth" is honesty, so we could say that in such a situation you prefer happiness over honesty. But honesty isn't always about ratting someone out. Sometimes people aren't even honest with themselves.
You've stated before that truth is more important than happiness, in your next paragraph you mention your reasoning as to why, yet it appears that you would be willing to obscure the truth to ensure happiness in specific situations. This seems like contradiction so maybe I'm missing something. You mention it is important to make a distinction between telling the truth and the truth itself, so maybe you mean that a persons own knowledge of the truth is more important than their own happiness, but a persons own happiness is more important than allowing someone else to discover the truth?
If I am understanding you correctly, can you explain why happiness is more important than the truth is these types of situations?I prefer the truth over happiness because the better informed i am about reality the better the decisions i can make based on it, or not should i desire. Ultimately freedom to make decisions based on the best available knowledge is more important than happiness.
Is that actually true though? Is the power/freedom that truth provides really more important than happiness? In certain situations, as mentioned above, we can imagine that the truth may actually reduce the amount of power or freedom that an individual has.
We can also imagine that in some situations learning the truth may not actually grant you any significant power or freedom at all. Imagine you are happy and content living your life, and you suddenly learned a terrible and depressing truth about your life, a truth so horrible that it destroys your happiness and actually drives you towards suicide. Would you still rather learn that truth than continue to live in blissful ignorance? Would you share your terrible knowledge with others, knowing that it would destroy their happiness as well?
