I fail to see how living a lie can be deemed "happy." Since "the Truth will set you free," it is implied that living a lie traps one in the lie itself. How then can happiness emerge from this confinement? Only when we are free from the limitations of false ego can we expand into the Truth, where all polarities and false premises (such as "happy lie" and "horrifying truth") are erased from consciousness. So the obvious choice for me is the happy Truth and not the horrifying lie. I am Sirius

I'd go for living a happy lie...if I were able to block out the horrifying truth. If I needed to think about the truth every day, my life would not be happy.

we all have the power to change things in life and living a happy lie is really just denying the truth. The first step to changing a horrifying truth is to admit it, accept it and work to change it the best way you can.

Happy lie. I guess. I mean, I know I should be like "horrifying truth, dont even have to think about it" but I'm human... I like being happy.

Well the horrifying truth will then bring one to question their existance and then hopefully become sincere to know real happiness. This must be your luckey day. Here is all you have been searching for. We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies. This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. for info go to harekrishnatemple.com read The Science of Self Realization by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. I am so glad I faced the horrifying fact that this place is an illusion. But it is good to know becasue Now I know who I am and all I need to know to get out of this suffering. You can too.

I had comparable experiances and, definite, i did sense like existence became valueless yet i in no way did something ti harm or injury all people. the main serious undertaking you're able to do best now could be stop feeling sorry for your self. settle for how issues are on the 2nd even whether it relatively is sh!tty. the 1st undertaking i did became seem at observe what's surely happening. "i'm i surely gonna enable this crap get to me?" No, because of the fact i'd desire to continually pass faraway from right here whilst i'm older and meet new people who surely supply a ****. So i did discover people even with the incontrovertible fact that it seems only wasnt finding interior the best spot. depart your convenience zone and attempt doing new issues. Take it from somebody who is conscious my a good style of experience.

I want to be the person who lives in the horrifying truth, but I fear I don't have the courage to do so.

There is nothing innate to truth that makes it horrifying. Horror is a reaction to the truth. Happiness can be another reaction.
