I think that's because happy is the wrong word to use; being eternally happy is no more possible than being eternally sad; what is possible is to be content enough to accept/enjoy them both for what they are.

I didn't say it was and from your answer I'm sure you haven't; but it is an excuse to eat from a bin; and there's no greater pleasure, even if that bin might contain your granny. If you want the moral high ground, you have to go full-on Buddhist and never knowingly kill anything, even bacteria; extreme enough for you?
