"Happy" is a tricky word.

hap·py

/ˈhapē/

adjective

1. feeling or showing pleasure or contentment.

And, yes, it depends on how you define "pleasure and contentment." "Relax" means different things to different people. For one, it may be a hike in the woods that is physically challenging. For someone else, it may be a day curled up on the couch with a book.

But the goal of life is NOT to be happy. The goal of life is to find meaning.

"Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." ~Viktor Frankl

Could this be the reason so many people have pleasurable pursuits and still find themselves depressed?
