no offense taken :-)... i did not infer that intelligent people were unhappy...i stated that some intelligent people were unhappy, but i have yet to meet anyone that i consider wise to be unhappy. this doesnt mean that wisdom equals or guarantees happiness, but infers that wisdom includes happiness. although we are capable of great amounts of knowledge, in fact i believe emotions are more important to the average human. mental institutions are full of knowledgable people whose emotions have not allowed them to be happy with what they have learned. what is the fulfillment of gaining knowledge if one is unhappy? as mentioned, i would much rather be happy than smart, but the combination of the both is the ultimate goal for me, and i call that wisdom.
