Happiness, defined as self-deluded positive attitude maintained by confirmation bias and caffeine, is a mild form of stupidity. Seeing things as they are, ideally without differentiating for "good" and "bad", and calling things by its proper names is beginning of intelligence. Joy, contrary to happiness, is a natural state (that's what makes children so different), which has nothing to do with social and environmental conditioning.
