The only amount of suffering I would have in my life would be the amount that is necessary for me to recognize happiness. Other than that, suffering and misery have no value to me and such an experience takes my life away from me. So I would choose to have a happy life since my feelings of happiness are the only experiences that fill my life with joy and meaning.
You talk this way but you are human. Not a robot. You cant program yourself to be happy all day while considering yourself a piece of shit.
