Happiness" alone does not guarantee mental health and well-being. A tempering dose of disappointment- an occasional taste of frustration and learning that you do recover from it- goes a long way toward producing long-term contentment.

When happiness is not taken for granted, and when one is acquainted with its opposite it is more easily savored and has more lasting effects.
