Would you choose knowing the harsh truth rather than stay innocent about it? A harsh truth can be that it's a dog eat dog world out there. What thing would you consider as a harsh truth? And if you had the chance would you rather be innocent/ignorant of that harsh truth than know it?

I would always go for the harsh truth over the being ignorant about it. Being confrinted by harsh truths is the only way we can survive and deal adaptively with reality. My harsh truth can be anything from an admired political figure being exposed for the real thief that he is to my loved one frolicking with someone else. I have had my fair share of harsh realities in life and I am certain that deciding to confront them has made a better person out of me.

I think it will depend on the situation.My harsh truth will be that when I would come to know that my girl is having affairs with others.In that case I would try to figure out the root cause of it.
