[quote="Noah"]For some reason, a bunch of people on here already tend to believe I'm "naive" and "innocent" and that my life is nothing but sunshine. =/[/quote]
Who thinks that? XD
I've tried classifying people before, but I gave up on that a long time ago. It's very difficult to do, because descriptions such as naive and innocent are absolute black and white terms. In the real world, there's shades of gray (or, dare I say about 16.7 million colors).
[quote="Noah"]Certainly people who are better educated and exercise more independent thought are more contemplative or might get more angry or worried over some certain things (but that's part of the Real Life experience). It makes life richer. Being happy all the time is NOT natural. Life needs its ups and downs. You need downs to appreciate the ups.[/quote]
Finally, someone understands! I've been saying that for years (no, really), but nobody seems to listen.
[quote="Arani"]For some people, being wise makes them happy, and that's the kind of person I am, so I am gonna say: I PICK BOTH!

Umadbro?

I kinda agree with this. The two categories are definitely not mutually exclusive.
But, if I had to choose, I really don't know. So, I'm going to end this post with the same thought that I began it with. Choosing between wisdom and happiness isn't actually possible. If you ask me today, when I'm filing taxes, or after I watch Forrest Gump, my response is going to be totally different.
Without consistency, classification is impossible. Except for maybe classifying it as inconsistent.
