Since consciousness is an illusion, is it possible that happiness is too? We can't even define happiness. We think we pursue actions to make us happy but do we really control those actions completely? Maybe saying we do things to make us happy is just something we justify to ourselves after the fact.

happiness is a state of mind. inject some heroin in body, and you'll be temporary very happy.
