Hmm, interesting choice! If I absolutely had to choose between those two, I’d pick happy as well.
Awesome! 😀
Happy. I’ve done the smart and unhappy. I’m about ready to smash myself over the head so politics, the world and scientific facts no longer scare the shit outta me. Instead it’ll just go over my head.
Agreed. Thats so very true…
You can be smart in being happy because you are doing the things to make yourself so…or something like that.
I really like your logic! 😉
It’s smart to be happy, and unsmart not to be, so… uh, both!? 😉
Tricky…I like it! 😉
Happy is my choice. Always
🙂
Definitely happy.
😀
Happy because a lot of times when we aim for “smart” we end up in great positions in life but not always happy.
I couldn’t agree more…
Happy, ignorance is bliss
Soooo true 😉
Happy wins out in my book too, but my first thought was “Why can’t you be both”.
You CAN be both…but then there wouldn’t be a fun debate 😉
Hmmm…I agree that it’s smart to be happy but if I had to choose, I’d definitely choose happy. Remember all of those Charles Schultz’s books with Snoopy and the gang? “Happiness is…” I used to read them to my kids when they were little. It brings back great memories.
Snoopy!! I love the Snoopster 😀
I agree that being happy feels better! Obviously being happy AND smart is ideal, but being happy, and not smart enough to know you’re not smart, must be great!
Agreed!
Hmmm, is made me think a bit. I’ve always been called smart and no matter what I do, I can’t help that’s how I’m viewed. So for me I just have to be myself and if that’s being smart about certain things because that’s me, then I’m happy. But I guess, I go for content. I have long learned happiness is fleeting, but contentedness can endure, even in not so good times. Sorry confusing answer I guess. If I had to pick between the two, if course happy.
Not confusing at all! A great argument, I have to say! 😉
Thank you 🙂
Definitely choose happiness, knowledge is thrown in our faces daily. You can have all the knowledge in the world and be miserable which I want to avoid. Interesting topic!
Nailed it!
Happy is my choice, because it might lead to knowledge. If you’re unhappy you don’t care what anything about.

A valid point! 🙂
I suspect that a large majority of the recipients of this query are universe-grade lucky. To live in this time and place (“western, modern world”), to live in peace (at the mall, no less) while there is war and famine all around us – that takes fall ass-backwards into angelfood cake luck. We spun well on the generational Wheel of Fortune as my burned-at-the-stake antecedents will attest to, if only they could. Many of them were smart – the intelligentsia of the day (much to the chagrin of the Pope, then). So they were smart but they, I’m sure – and I too – prefer luck.
120% AGREED! I could not have said it better myself. BTW – I’m so stealing you ‘fall ass-backwards into angel food cake luck’ line. Hahaha…Nailed it!
…Oops. Pressed send: not smart, or coordinated. Lucky in turn, enables happy. So I pick happy. That’s it. No changsies.
Happy all of the way!
Yes! 😀
Happiness is all we want! 🙂
YES! 😀
