I shan't answer this one, since the statement seems to be right 'round the middle, rather than either extreme. :) I will say, however, that it's my belief that you shouldn't strive to be happy. Happy and Sad are opposite swings of the pendulum, and striving for either will simply ensure you never find what you're looking for. Try instead for content: happy and sad will come in turn, high spikes and low drops and then back again to the next, but if you've got a solid ground to return to, neither will unbalance.
