    if you needed to make the decision at some point in your life.
    is this choice necessary in reality?

    Without truth there can not be "true" happiness because there will always be room for uncertainty.... doubt, the ability to question that "happiness". One of the greatest concepts explored in quantum mechanics and philosophy.
    Meaning does not reside in the mathematical symbols. It resides in the cloud of thought enveloping these symbols. It is conveyed in words; these assign meaning to the symbols. -Marvin Chester

    Everything in the future is a wave, everything in the past is a particle. -Lawrence Bragg

    Happiness comes from within, and truth can only fill that, so truth. I do not care about being happy, as i never knew it, but i love truths, and its something i do look for in life.

    Of course everyone's truth can be different, as most of you lot probably look for things i cannot stand, and vice versa.

    happiness!
    The truth is not always neccessary.
    Sometimes its nice to be in your own little happy world for a while.

    Truth. Happiness means nothing without truth.

    Trust, encouragement, reward, loyalty... satisfaction. That's what I'm... you know. Trust people and they'll be true to you. Treat them greatly, and they will show themselves to be great.

    I used to care about truth and all that deep stuff when I was younger, but now I just want happiness by any means necessary for this little short life we have.
