Emotions are irrational. If I wasn't addicted to happiness it would be easier for me to motivate myself to actually problem solve. In the short run happiness is great but in the long run it ain't so great because it doesn't last. And it's dysfunctional to always go for feeling good because sometimes, unfortunately, we have to do shit we don't want to do.
You agreed earlier that we needed a positive experience to truly make our lives good and beautiful. That would be a positive state of mind. You would need a real quality of it there to truly make your life good and beautiful rather than defining your life as good and beautiful. As I said before, if you had no positive emotion and no positive experience, then your life can only be nothing.
