Happiness is in it’s essance either a trap or a legitimate byproduct of following one’s true destiny. In any situation where there is option A or B, where both A and B result in different kinds of releative happiness, one is quite probably a trap. I do however believe that it is possible to compromise and at least taste the rewards of either while still following one’s destiny.
Paulo Coelio’s character Berta in the extremely incitefull novel “The Devil and Miss Prym” sums this concept up very well. “[People] seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness” She describes the constant struggle between being happy and finding happiness. Contentment vs discovery of new pleasures.
