I have always seen happiness as like sugar... sweet, and fine in small quantities but unhealthy if it becomes a dominant component in one's diet. Similarly, things that induce happiness (or other feelings) for the sake of it and nothing else are disgusting. How much of the world has been made worse because happiness was shoved down someone's throat? Do we really realize just how much this emotion and its tells (a smile, good mood, etc) are used to deceive us? If you want to feel something, earn it.
