you have everything you want?
You seem to be very lucky if that is what you mean.

But I'm afraid to say, that telling me I ought to be happy isn't making me so.
I have nothing to live for, no passion, no drive. All my life I've only followed the path of least resistance, and now, I'm just stagnating in a puddle, like so much leaked hydraulic fluid.

I'm saying that's what I want, everyone's different and yeah most people do want 'happiness' but not the way I do(it's hard to explain)
I'm not telling you to do anything, this is something only you can work out for yourself, you just need to find something worth living(or even dying) for.

There's a strong psychological link between happiness and goal fulfilment, such that to want happiness for its own sake is almost a tautology. What does it stand on? It's like saying you want what you want. It's like ordinarily, there's some kind of pre-programmed want or goal in there.
