the way someone (iirc ) described it once is that people make a contract with themselves to be miserable until they get what they want, and that one can learn to unmake this contract
(maybe this wasn't about jhanas but i still liked it as a description of a thing that is at least kinda related)

i think I have very high levels of equanimity/peace but moderately high levels of happiness
and they feel quite distinct to me
