Hi Kotomi,

If you're not getting the answer you're looking for, what answer ARE you looking for?

Happiness is subjective, in my opinion. At least to a degree.

Main Entry: hap·pi·ness
Pronunciation: \ˈha-pē-nəs\
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 obsolete : good fortune : prosperity
2 a : a state of well-being and contentment : joy b : a pleasurable or satisfying experience
3 : felicity, aptness

I don't know if there's such a thing as too much happiness, but I do think there is such a thing as striving to always be too happy that kinda falls flat and doesn't work. (Ie. I don't think it's normal to always be 100% happy, without the sadness/anger/other emotions)
