i think happiness is a byproduct of a choice based on the understanding of ones self. skipping the choice and going right to the byproduct ignores our understanding of ourself which gives us a false sense of happiness. this false sense of happiness will lead us into a life long battle against happiness and unhappiness, instead of embracing and learning from the byproduct of our choices.

so yes, expecting to be happy will only bring unhappiness.

actually achieving a life long happiness is i feel indeed possible.
