It's all an illusion--happiness, fullfilment, meaning in life etc
We were conditioned that way as kids

In that case sadness is an illusion too. This is where stoicism comes in: an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge; the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also identified with Fate and Providence) that governs nature, and are indifferent to the vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain.

Everything in life is an illusion.

Everything in life contradicts happiness, maybe feeling depress is the nature of life I guess.

My favorite quote on happiness.

"Happiness comes in small doses folks. It's a cigarette butt, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five second orgasm. You come, you smoke the butt you eat the cookie you go to sleep wake up and go back to fucking work the next morning, THAT'S IT! End of fucking list!"

-Denis Leary
