In fact, having to work for it makes me very unhappy.

I think it does make you happy that's why you're willing to go through the process of doing something you don't like in order to earn it.

It's rare for someone to put effort into gaining something that they perceive will have no effect on their happiness.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
