Because we associate happiness with the things nature wants us to do to survive and recreate.

@impulsive True. Sounds so simple if you put it that way 😥

@emereese Often things are in the end, its all just chemicals in our brains, a reward system to make sure we follow our programming given to us by nature. It doesn't mean that there isn't any meaning or beauty in life though. Our intelligence is what uplifts us from being simple animals, we can take those chemicals in our brains and twist them in new ways for good or ill. Hence many of the addiction problems we face in society today.
