Truth vs. Happiness

Which concept (truth or happiness) is more worthy (of pursuit)?

In a way searching for truth is a search of righteous and sustainable happiness, happiness gained through ignorance of the truth is detrimental to the sustenance of happiness.

Very general statements i know.

Of those for whom truth-seeking is an essential element in their lives, I guess their level of happiness will depend on their reactions to whatever truths they find and what they can make of them.

But has anyone ever achieved this?

It seems to me that truth and happiness do not go hand in hand.

Truth and happiness are the same.

Truth is not always beneficial or satisfying.

Truth could be downright depressing.
