If a human can generate it's own happiness within itself ( (all positive feelings – all negative feelings) > 0 ) , no matter what is going on outside of the entities mental construct (read: The physical world), happiness will be achieved and sustained.
Having an outside factor determining a persons happiness, means that happiness = not self generated nor self sustained. If the goal of living = maximising happiness, a clever individual must not attach it's happiness and feeling of self worth to outside factors, that is not maximization of life.
Most human beings of reasonable intelligence can be trained to produce better and more positive thought patterns (through brain intervention by aliens).
