Knowledge or Happiness?

[I3rilliant 503]

Which one do you value more?

 

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

Knowledge is power, power corrupts.

 

So I guess, happiness. 

[Irontank1v 836]

I prefer being sad and knowledgeable than being happy and dumb 

[mchen 162]

Happiness, having knowledge is pointless if you can't appreciate or enjoy having it in the first place

[Fen-Harel 1,176]

Knowledge.

[GoldRock 6,165]

Knowledge.

[felixbond 20]

with knowledge, you can kill your opponent without them even knowing it. in tanki, I mean. you guys are making this way to deep for a forum.

What he said. Would +1 but I have used them all up

I'll go for happiness.

Surely if you're dumb then you don't know it though?

Happiness

How about both? :p

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

You get knowledge with had wok.

 

You get power with money.

[MisterGeneral 692]

I think you can achieve both of them :) 

[PhantomFlanFlinger 220]

if your asking would I prefer to be stupid or happy... neither option number 3

[Irontank1v 836]

At the end it all differs from person to person. People who are happy in there life will tend to go for knowledge, people who are sad or have good amount of knowledge will go for happiness. My case i welcome both  :D

I think it greatly depends on what type of knowledge we're referring to... 3 types of knowledge (click here to understand my post.)

 

If its Personal or Prodecural knowledge, I value these very much, and would consider them to actually have big factor on whether or not one is happy.

 

Trivial knowledge, such as knowing theories and philosophies... science... math... and so on, those things have very little to do with happiness in my opinion, and are useless unless they are required to know in your daily life, such as for your career.

 

Of course there is some trivial (propositional) knowledge that I find useful, as everyone does, for if we didn't have at least some degree of propositional knowledge, we would all be idiots.

 

So my answer is to have a balance, and to have knowledge which supports happiness.

 

If I could only choose between propositional knowledge or happiness, I would choose happiness because who wants to live a depressing life, and die unsatisfied because it was very rare that they smiled, or enjoyed having whatever knowledge they ended up with... and if they did die happy, it was due to them achieving something great for others in the future... but not being able to live to see their great findings being put to use? Thats horrific in my opinion.

Happiness :)

[jokjinari 160]

I would prefer happiness. If I know everything, but I'm depressed, what's the point? 

[Eragon 13,876]

knowledge will make you happy 

[adil.pk 212]

knowledge will make you happy

 

okey

[Irontank1v 836]

knowledge will make you happy 

sometimes it makes you sad also ;)

[Bouncing_Elephant 6]

NEITHER OF THEM

[RampagingVenom 554]

Happiness then you can acquire knowledge with inner peace & thus help other to gain the same   

*bows* ^_^

[Shadow_Error_X 50]

I would have to choose knowledge, happiness usually only lasts for a certain amount of time (for me at least).

 

Knowledge on the other hand almost always stays with you your entire life.

Very interesting point, actually ^_^
