I was reading "Getting Past OK" again last night. Great book, I still
highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't picked it up yet.
Anyway, I was re-reading the part about the "Truth Trap" and it
is pretty obvious I am still in it (assuming it is a trap, of course).

Level-3 seems to be predicated on the assumption that it is better
to be happy than right, right? I mean, if truth and happiness conflict,
then the L-3 master says so much the worse for truth, while someone
in the "Truth Trap" would say so much the worse for happiness.
