who is happier in this world? intelligent or fool?

Answer 1

Neither, happiness is a case by case basis irrespective of intelligence

Answer 2

Whether is there any direct relation. But intelligent in general do the things according to their intelligence, hance will be happier as they do what they want. They can make the things happen. But there can be exceptions that some intelligent people may not be happy, due to things happening by nature or denstiny but only some times.

How the fool can be happy. He makes his life and the lives of others around him make miserable. Hence cannot be happy. But again if he is born in very high position he will be happy at the cost of others like those in the families of earlier kings.

Answer 3

There is a saying: Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. But that begs the question: Where is ignorance bliss?

Sometimes not knowing something (like the death of a loved one) could allow us to remain being happy until the news reaches us but this amounts to being temporarily ignorant of a fact rather than being a fool.

Being a fool seems like a more permanent state of more or less perpetual ignorance. Given a choice would anyone opt for that? I don't see it carrying a guarantee of happiness.

I'd choose being intelligent and unhappy over being a fool and unhappy. At least I'd stand a greater chance of doing something to improve my situation. Or is it that a fool is also capable of experiencing less emotion, happy or unhappy?

Another idea I've heard is that in former times (and still in less 'developed' countries) people did (or do) more difficult manual work (physical stress) but suffered less psychologically stress. Now, in less simpler times, we are less physically stressed (unless you let your body 'go') but endure greater mental pressures - there is a cost for everything.

Are animals happier than we are? They seem to get over bad experiences faster than we do.

But I don't want to confuse knowledge (contents) with intelligence (capacity). Given a choice between two water barrels in a desert how many would choose the smaller one?

I didn't say that each was filled to the brim with water - the smaller one might actually have more water in it!

So, to finally come to the point, I don't really know. But my choice would be for intelligence so something in me thinks/feels that that would make me happier. But then there's always the chance of a tsunami or an earthquake or a human-induced disaster!

Answer 4

i think a fool is happier. coz a fool is more content with what he has at the moment and the smart one always aspire greater.

Answer 5

Intelligent, but should be mentally matured. But again happiness and sadness follow one behind the other. You should be intelligent to doge the sadness.

Answer 6

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are always cocksure and the intelligent are always filled with doubt.

Answer 7

Answer 8
