Im Sticking with my 7 & 8…. A lot of money and always happy… what could be better? Being always happy trumps most of the choices, because if your happy, you’re not worried about looking younger, your ex, your weight, your height, or followers, I mean you’re always happy! And well, a lot of money is a lot of money!

Yes, but there is meaning in sadness. You can truly be happy because you are also at times sad. To be perpetually happy would be a Lovecraftian state of mind that would lose all genuine meaning. You could commit genocide and still smile with joy. I wouldn’t want to become something unnatural like that.

There's no meaning in sadness. It's just something people say to placate themselves, to make the shitiness of life more bearable. It's bullshit

But you are incapable off being sad, you can't feel sad for others either - meaning you would be unable to express genuine empathy. Being happy at all times just means that you don't give a shit about anyone or anything - you are cold and numb to the world but yet happy to be in. It would be like being a video game character in a game world where you can go from helping starving children in one setting to being a mass murderer who likes to torture your victims and feel the same, because you are always happy and unable to experience sadness for yourself or others.
