Those are not opposing states. You can easily experience both simultaneously. Truth and knowledge, whether pleasant or not, should be its own reward, in that you are not mistaken or confused about your reality; instead you are better equipped to deal with said reality.

Example: If one's partner is cheating on them, they may be happier if they're unaware or dismissive of the truth; but are they truly better off?
