Not precisely.
I have to take the realistic view toward happiness and understand that most people delude themselves into being happy. It is all about perception and how one wishes to perceive how his life should be; the ever self-deluding known as "If I think it, it is true". Realistically, there is too much wrong with this world for anyone to truly be happy. Therefore, what one does is put on blinders in order to ignore reality and focus on personal happiness.
Those who can state with one hundred percent certainty that they are happy are one hundred percent delusional.
