I have not done any study of the theories you have mentioned, but here is my perspective: When a person is truly happy and fulfilled, it is shown in his expressions, ways of dealing with people et al. Mostly the signs of happiness that we get to see in others are the results and not the cause for the happiness. If we learn to live every day as it comes, every moment with gratitude, wonder, love and kindness, we would be happy with actually looking for a reason to be happy. This makes it more meaningful since happiness comes from within. Smile, and there will be much to smile about. Be thankful, and there will be plenty of reasons for being thankful. Once we make happiness conditional, then we are limiting it and driving it away from us. I believe in the statement, "Do good to the world and the Good will come back to you". We actually feel more happy at the end of the day, when we see our customers or colleagues being happy at the small things we do. It is the smile that they return that makes us feel satisfied. If the good times never ended, they would cease to be so good. Without change, without growth, without challenge, life would become stale and empty. So we should also take care in life not to feel sad or apprehensive that the good will come to an end. So fear of loss of happiness will never make us happy, rather we should learn to live the moment. When we learn to be happy at all times, we understand that the essence of happiness is always with us. Life changes every moment and change is the only constant thing and blessing. It teaches us a lot. Set aside the complaints, excuses, conditions and demands, and make a place for happiness in your world. Be happy, and you'll discover a whole new level of life's richness. So I feel that humans can live noble and with all positive intent, which makes their life more fulfilled and satisfied. Positive energies only spread goodness and it always helps in making this world a better place to live!
