Out of the two I would choose to feel loneliness. I know most of us dont feel happy when we are lonely. And I think loneliness is just another branch of sadness, a more specific sadness, which makes the question hard to answer. But, I feel that someone can be lonely while still feeling content or happy. There are people who cut themselves off from the world and become hermits in a search for spiritual fulfilment. Or people that just dont do well with other people, who certainly may feel lonely, but may actually be ok with that. But they probably would not be ok with feeling sad. Sadness is sadness, whatever way you look at it. (It is not a good feeling, but a feeling none the less. And like all other feelings has its purpose.) So, going by the question, Id rather feel lonely, and possibly not be unhappy from that loneliness. As opposed to sad, which, whatever way I look at it, I will always be sad. Ever felt surrounded in a room full of people and still felt unhappy? Ever had many good friends around you (and not felt lonely) but were still unhappy?
