There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to happiness! It is a unique, personal thing. It might be said that one man's happiness is another man's misery. And whoever believes that it is possible to be ecstatic, or happy, continually, probably resides in an asylum. Happiness will always be ephemeral. Not to say that it has a finite duration, but it cannot last but fleetingly. I think we are largely confusing contentment, here, with happiness. Contentment may be far longer-lasting, and is often more difficult to attain than the soon-vanishing "happiness", but is well worth the effort. For those that feel they have achieved a long-lasting happiness, then I say, long may it last!
