or intelligent and sad?
why would it be wrong if i wanted to live in the ignorant idiotic state of mind instead of learning and becoming sad and pathetic?
wouldnt people rather just live in their stupidity bubble?

Neither option is acceptable. I'd rather be happy and well-informed. In fact, the more studying and research I do, the happier I get. It's not an either/or proposition. Naivete isn't the answer to anything, and it doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. Intelligent thought doesn't lead to sadness, but instead, can only improve a person.

Well, while I would never want to live in an ignorant state, there are many out there who really believe:
Ignorance is Bliss
- or -
What you do not know doesn't hurt you.

I'm intelligent and happy.
The only thing to be sad about is that so many Christians are wandering around blissfully ignorant.

personally, sometimes, i wish i were niave and happy.....but most of the time, i'm happy that i have half a brain
intelligence has helped me, but i always have questions and wonder if i would be happier if i was stupid.

naive and happy, being intelligent makes you think to much and YOU end up scaring yourself
have you ever been alone and lots of things haunt your mind? then you know what i am talking about

Do whatever you want...I want to know the truth more than being happy.
