You need to read Nietzsche, Frankl, Jung, Buddah, Peterson. The point is not happiness, it's meaning. Life is suffering. The point is not happiness, it's meaning.

Staying positive is emotion. Find some meaning and you'll endure everything.

Good way to phrase it, I would agree. I just think happiness comes from having meaning and purpose. You aren't inherently happy. You are happy from meeting challenges etc.

I honestly think happiness is irrelevant. The goal is to flow really. Flow like water. To be one with the universe. Meaning helps keeping us focused and flowing with the universe.
