Was being part of the experiment good for Charlie why or why not?

In an aspect, Charlie was a perfect example of 'ignorance
is bliss'. While the operation made him realize the world as he knew it was not as good
or innocent as he had felt before, it made him more angry and unhappy. Though made fun
of and treated derogatorily, Charlie was, in a sense, happy. He was pretty much alone,
but had people he cared for, thinking of them as his friends. He saw the world without
understanding its deeper meaning and the deeper he dwelt into that meaning, the more he
sank into despair, alone. So the answer is: would you rather be super intelligent but
unhappy and alone. or mentally retarded but happy. I would say what Charlie didn't know
didn't affect him, emotionally. If he'd been normal (not above it) it would have
definitely helped him. Because while Charlie was under average and below it, he faced
abandonment and regret, isolation. All he ever wanted to be was 'normal' but all he got
was anything more or  less. I would say the experiment was not good for Charlie because
while he became ashamed of what he was after he realized it, he was happy and bliss
without knowledge. There are always some things in life that we wished never to have
known. I think perhaps they should have brought down the operation to only make Charllie
of normal intelligence, not more than it.
