This is a very difficult question and I’m not sure I really know where I stand. I like to think that I would rather be disturbed by the truth (I think most people would initially choose this as well), but if I stop and think, it’s really not an easy decision to make. The most extreme scenario I can think of would be something equivalent to The Matrix—the entire reality that you know and accept is a lie and you wake up to discover that “truth” is a harsh and painful existence. Put in that light, would I willingly choose pain just to know that my happiness was a lie?
I honestly have no answer.
