I would go to what makes me happy because life is short and if I suffer the consequences, I can say at least it made me happy.

@Ladanger Exactly. Besides, we ourselves will be the one to suffer the consequences.

There are types of happiness that we need to take into consideration in pondering such question. Case in point, I think that what we need to think about is how long will this happiness last. Typically, such instances go hand in hand, wherein you do the right thing and it will make you happy. But of course, there are instances where we choose our happiness or doing the right thing. Doing the right thing, though may not be so beneficial to us at first, will always be the right thing. And in the long-term, there is happiness in it for we will be proud of doing the right thing. And there's also the temporary happiness. We may choose not to do the right thing and be selfish for our own happiness, but in the long run, it doesn't really make us happy because we didn't do the right thing.
What did you think about it after much pondering?

@Ladanger Aww, thank you for the compliment! I don't really think I'm wise as I just share what I really think about a subject even if it might make sense or not. (haha) But it makes me happy that some of my views could offer another perspective.

@GopherDanny yes it makes me look at things from another angle. Sometimes I prefer things my way when in the long run I suffer lol instead of doing the right thing.

I would go for happiness. This is what we all seek.

Maybe my answer will depend on what topic it is.

for me, i will go and choose what's the right thing to do for I know the certainty of what I am doing and that will create an output of happiness and satisfaction rather than choosing what makes me happy and ending up sad because I never made a wise decision before plunging in such act which in return would probably not create a satisfactory outcome.

What is right is supposedly what makes you happy. I think they go hand in hand. It couldn't be right if you are not happy with it and you'll never be happy if what you're doing is not right. Right? Confusing as it may sound but that's what is in my heart.
