Alright... after reading through much of this, a certain line struck me over and over again.
I have only one question.
Why?
(To clarify: I mean: Why be happy? Why want to be happy? How is it useful? What 'good' is happiness?)
I agree with Will Newsome's comment, especially the second paragraph.
Looking for "happiness" as something distinct from and on top of living the life you truly want is like going to London and looking for "London". A signpost pointing to "London" is only useful when you are far from it.
