Yes, sometimes you know it's a lie, but you don't care

No - because once I realize something is a lie then whatever happiness I agained from it is meaningless. I prefer the truth in all matters and I don't want someone lying to me to some how make me feel better - because that will only make me feel good for a fleeting moment. So the answer to your question is resounding no for me. Ultimately I always want to know truth of a matter.

I don't know. If I didn't want to know the truth, then I probably didn't find out what it was and then I can't possibly remember a time when a lie made me happier than the truth

I guess, yes, you may feel happy after the lie. But isn't it temporary happiness, just short-lived. This is especially so after knowing that it isn't the truth. Further more your conscience will not be clear and you're creating an illusion, which is really just cheating on yourself really.

no. It's like the age-old box story: if there was a box that would provide you with an illusion of happiness, would you step into it? be warned: you will not want to get back out, and while your mind is happy, your body will deteriate. but you'll be happy.
I think that happiness is an emotion, and I am willing to give up an emotion fo the sake of truth.

Yes, like the Police can protect you from Bad people. They have no idea who's being mean to whom, thats why there's so much domestic violence. They don't care, they just write reports.

That's a paradox.
Had you known, you would not be happy for real no more.
Had you not known, you would not know that you didn't want to know at all.
