Pleasure is not the same as happy. Probably no one, even the luckiest entity in the universe, can avoid to go through some painful emotion.

But how we handle raw emotions, within interpretation processes, is what makes all the difference.

Actually, an entity that would only go through an indefinitely long flow of pleasant emotions and still end up being depressed and feeling unsatisfied the whole time is perfectly conceivable.

I don't think it's that rare.

Fortunately, the opposite is also true.
