Sadly, sages and fools also debate 'happy' (Epicurus vs. Aristotle, Bentham vs. J. S. Mill, etc.) And some (like all of the above except Bentham) think you can be wrong about whether or not you are REALLY happy, as opposed to whether you just THINK you're happy. The good news is, if you think you're happy, things could definitely be worse.
