Just think about it. A person who, in a hypothetical scenario, feels happy all the time, or searchs for it (in one single thing) and always finds it there, how would:
That person find the motivation to eat properly?
How would she sleep?
Would she fuck?
Would she even brush her teeth?
And (ironically JFL) take showers once in a while?
The answer is no, that person would either not do any of those things at all or, at least not do them properly, because she would be obssessed in being happy (or wouldnt find any of those other things necessary, because she already is happy inside).
Now think of the most close example we have of that: users of hard drugs. Usually, they lie, steal, cheat even kill for the next high they will have, destroying anything in their way for the next crack rock, or neddle of heroin, etc. Why? BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM H-A-P-P-Y.
Now think to yourself: would you want to be in that situation? Normies would say they arent really happy by doing it so, which i call bullshit, everyone knows the high of those drugs is one the best things there is to experience out there (some are even better than sex, which makes ex users crave it until the day they die and shit).
So i dont think the meaning of life is to be happy, its something much more deeper, unclear and unphantomable than just "being happy" (like that rationality machine Socrates would like you to think).
