I think we can start here with this question. If you were to have no euphoria such as due to a stressful life event or emotional trauma and you believed that things and moments in your life were still good and beautiful, then what would that be like for you? You might say that it is like something good and beautiful since it is the words "good" and "beautiful" being believed in your mind in regards to those things, situations, and moments. But I am asking you to look beyond those words. There should be a form of goodness and beauty there that transcends words. It would literally be the most powerful and profound state of being and living you could be in. From my perspective, that state would be our euphoria.
However, I am asking you if there is any goodness and beauty beyond those words going through your mind during those moments. If there is none there, then I can honestly conclude that your life has no real good value and beauty at all. For example, a blind person can think of colors and he could tell you what that was like for him. He could tell you that it was like red, blue, and green for him. But these would just be words. There is a form of red, green, and blue that goes beyond words and that would, again, be him visualizing those colors. So, what I am asking you here is if you are able to "visualize," so to speak, the good value and beauty in your life during moments where you are completely miserable and/or don't have your euphoria.
