This quote led to surprising talk in the classroom this morning. I think, due to some of the extreme situations that some of the students have been through in life, there was an overwhelming agreement that happiness is more desirable than wisdom.
I can't help but think that there is some wisdom inherent in being able to recognize the value of happiness in life.
Keep them fat, dumb and happy.
I think that by it's very nature, happiness is something that comes and goes - nobody is permanently happy.
Wisdom is something you gain, and while you may not always use it, you never lose it.
So I disagree with this. I would rather strive to be wise than happy.
Yes, indeed! AND it depends on whether we are talking wisdom or wizdumb. :)
