Everyone experiences happiness in their defined way. Nothin is worth it if your are not happy.
Happiness is formed by genetics, life experience, social groups as well as individual choices. In life, we also experience happiness out of reach, and that’s fine because if we only feel happiness we would never know the actual value of happiness in life.
