      What is it that you should value? And people say, "Well, being Happy". They don't mean that.

      If you decompose what people mean when they say they want to be happy, what it turns out people mean is they don't want to be miserable.

      They're way more concerned with avoiding suffering than they are with pursuing enthusiastic, positive emotion.

      The statement, "I want to be Happy", is not an accurate reflection of what it is that you want.

          “Decompose” is interesting word choice

          Happiness, in my humble experience, is freedom from fear. When I say I want to be happy, I simply mean that I don't want to be afraid.

          Psychometrically... ¿perhaps, half the time? I mean... the motivational dimension, and salience, of suffering is strong, but there are temperamental differences. Positive emotion may be the focus for some... hedonistic, Epicurean or whatsoever, but "happiness" in some sense

          Happiness is not something to strive for it comes within, it connected to gratitude, you can always be happy or always be miserable

          I want to spend my life with someone I love, raising a family, and to ideally live on a ranch of my own someday.

          What I want is to not suffer in vain. It is for the suffering to be worth the outcome whatever it may be.. Because there will be suffering..
