Can you have one without the other or does truth lead to happiness and vice versa? If you could only achieve one, which would it be and why?

No, I would rather have both.

and you said it 3x you would be the expert on happiness

Of course they are sometimes mutually exclusive. Sometimes to tell someone the truth would lead to unhappiness and misery for one or both people. You just can't always go around telling people ""the truth."" You could destroy a lot of lives that way.

Implicit in the question is that you can't have one without the other.

Which I don't think is true.

So I don't understand the question.

since I believe that you can have happiness and truth at the same time, I don't think I need to really choose.

truth is very important though. even if the truth might make you unhappy for the moment, in the long run, it will not.

You cannot truly have control over your own path unless you know the truth.

So are you saying ignorance is bliss?

Isn't the problem with that old saw how few people know the next line?

Ignorance is bliss - when 'tis folly to be wise.

I'd love to have the power always to know the right time for each.

Ah but that would require true wisdom, would it not? And one cannot be truly wise without truth.
