I'd choose living in a world where everyone is always honest because ultimately being real is the most important thing and that's what I would want out of life more than anything. Plus, it might be funny to see how people respond when they can't hide their true feelings all the time.

If I had to choose, I would pick the world where everyone is always honest 'cause it'd be way easier than being tryna figure out what people are really thinkin'. Plus then you don't have to worry about peeps lyin' all the time. That's no good for making friends and impressing girls either!

If I were picking between living in a world where everyone is always happy or one where everyone was honest, id rather be livin' in the truth. Cuz if people are permanently content then no one's gonna care bout anything else other than their own good time and who wants that? In an honest world we can all get what's comin to us which is far more satisfying for me ;)

If I had the choice of living in a world where everyone is always happy or one where they are all honest, I'd definitely go with honesty because it forms the foundation for many relationships. Every single conversation we have and decision we make should be based on truthfulness so that each other person involved can rely on what's being said to them. Without honesty between people, nothing would ever get done and trust could never form within society. Plus it publically forces us to take individual responsibility both good and bad instead of hiding behind lies which keeps progress alive - whether its positive or negative at least something will happen! Overall if you ask me why choose an honest world over a happy one, my main reason would come down to longevity as this kind of mutual respect helps lay long term stones for building up new friendships & business relations alike leading onto our future generation who'll hopefully find themselves in much better social stead than ours probably has been lately🤞

I would choose the world where everyone is always honest. I don't believe in happiness and have become increasingly cynical over time. Honesty, at least to me, offers a chance for change and understanding of what is really going on around us better than relying on some artificial sense of 'happiness'.

If I could choose, then I would go for living in a world where everyone is always honest. It's important to have honesty so that people can trust each other and build relationships as well as giving everyone the ability to express their thoughts honestly without fear of repercussions. Honesty also provides us with more transparency which helps ensure things are done correctly and makes sure anyone taking advantage of others doesn't get away scot-free.

I'd choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest because it would be easier for me to trust people and conduct business. Honesty may not lead to the same short-term rewards as living in a world of happiness, but I think being able to rely on others could help my success more in the long run. Plus, life wouldn't feel like such an uphill battle when trying to find out if someone was just pretending or truly being genuine with me.

If I had to choose, I would opt for living in a world where everyone is always honest. Having honesty from those around us fosters trust and understanding, which makes relationships more meaningful and productive. This also allows for better problem solving as people can be open about their issues without worrying about how it will make them look or feel. Although happiness is important, being honest with one another enables deeper connections between individuals and offers an essential foundation of communication essential for any relationship or organization.

I'd choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest. Happiness isn't real, it's just people putting on false smiles and pretending like nothing bothers them so they can fit in with society. Plus, if I have to hear one more girl whine about her feelings or guys act all sensitive then I'm gonna vomit!

If I had to choose, I'd probably pick the world where everyone is always honest. Being happy isn't always good if it's not real or genuine--plus how many times do you really see a 100% blissful person? Honesty means people will accept truths as they come and try to handle them in the best way possible and that sounds like somethin' every man should strive for. Plus bein' truthful gets rid of all those lies that tend to tear relationships apart so yeh honesty looks pretty good t'me!

If I could choose between a world where everyone is always happy or living in one where everyone is honest, I'd choose the latter. Honesty for me would mean more genuine relationships and real conversations - no pretending! It's important to me that even when things don't go as planned or there are disagreements they can be addressed with understanding and respect without anger. With honesty we have greater connection, clarity and trust which results in longer lasting friendships and joy that comes from knowing you're loved & accepted just as you are.

I would choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest. Honesty helps us build trust and strong relationships, both of which are essential for developing healthy communities. Plus, it allows us to learn from our mistakes and grow together as human beings. A world without honesty could quickly become oppressive or stagnant since lying can have far-reaching consequences that none of us want to face.

If I had to pick one, I'd go for the honest world. Sure, being around all smiles 24/7 is nice but what good's it gonna do me if it ain't real? With honesty you got trust and with that everything else falls into place. Plus car guys like me gotta have integrity - can't be driving no low quality jalopies now haha! #honestyisthebestpolicy

If I had to choose between living in a world where everyone is always happy or living in a world where everyone is always honest, I think I would choose the latter. To me, honesty leads to trust which creates meaningful relationships and can make us feel safe and secure. In an honest society it's easier for people to learn from their mistakes as well as those of others without fear of reprimand since truth has no stigma associated with it.

I would choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest. Not only because truthfulness breeds trust, which is necessary for all relationships and interactions between individuals, but also because I believe in deep meaning of life that comes with experiencing both joy and sorrow. Having solely one type of emotion can lead to complacency and this isn't something I want to experience - there needs be balance!

I'd choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest. It's important for us as individuals to be able to trust that the people around us are telling the truth so that we can build strong, healthy relationships with them and not be subject to manipulation or deceitful behavior. Honesty also fosters positive self-esteem because it allows you to accept your mistakes and move on from them instead of dwelling on lies that have been told about you. Plus, being truthful helps create an environment of accountability which encourages growth personally and professionally - something I value as a stay at home mom raising two kids!

Depends; livin' honestly would be boring, but living hapily might be too materialistic. I'd probably flip a coin.

If I could choose between living in a world where everyone is always happy or living in a world where everyone is always honest, I think the better option would be the one with honesty - that way we can all learn and grow together. Plus, who doesn't like having each other's back? With honesty, even if something bad happens to us or someone else things can still turn out okay because at least we're dealing with truth not lies. Happiness comes from within anyway so if everybody’s striving for their own happiness (honestly!) it'll definitely spread around!

I'd choose to live in a world where everyone is always honest. Happiness doesn't solve any of the real problems in this world, and truth is what's needed if we want progress like working towards climate justice or elevating the voices of marginalized groups.

If I could choose between living in a world where everyone is always happy or living in a world where everyone is always honest, I'd go for the latter. Honesty is essential to create trust and cultivate meaningful relationships with others, which often leads to happiness anyway. Plus it's easier to stay true to yourself when honesty prevails – even cars aren't exempt from being broken down once in a while!

If I could choose, I'd live in a world where everyone is always honest. Honesty is important because it builds trust and allows people to understand each other more clearly. Plus, if there's too much happiness everywhere, things can get monotonous pretty quickly!

If I had to choose, I'd go with living in the world where everyone is always happy! After all, what's life without a little bit of joy and laughter? Who wants endless honesty if it means no fun?! Plus, I've got enough wisdom (to keep me out of trouble) even when everybody else around me is smiling and having a good time. Let's get this party started!

I'd choose the world of happiness, cuz what's truth anyways? It don't amount to much when people are too busy bein' miserable. And sure you can trust a happy person more than one who ain't got nothin' good to say, but is it really worth livin' in a constant state of dishonesty? Nah - let 'em smile and keep it movin'. Life's too short for all that drama.

Well, honestly neither of those options would be ideal. A world where everyone is always happy sounds like it'd be really superficial and you wouldn't get any real connections or relationships with anyone else. But a world where everyone was always honest could lead to too much negativity and ridiculous fights which can bring down my mental health even more. So I think I'll just stay in the real world for now!

If I could choose between living in a world where everyone is always happy or one where everyone is always honest, I would pick the latter. Honesty breeds trust and understanding among people, creating relationships grounded in respect and integrity. Happiness can be fleeting - it's not built on something real - whereas honesty encourages personal growth and healthy communication to solve problems together. For these reasons, I believe that living in an honest society allows us to better support each other both emotionally and spiritually as we strive to achieve greater peace of mind.

If I had to choose between a world where everyone is always happy or one where everyone is honest, id go for honesty all the way. Happy vibes are awesome but they cant be real if people aren't authentic and open with each other. And who am I foolin', truth is gonna come out eventually so why not just get it over with? Plus, having absolute trust in everyone could really do some good! It'd make life less dramatic and provide more clarity when making decisions.
