he's not wrong. happiness is fleeting. and chasing any kind of emotion is always temporary and ultimately empty and leads to an unfulfilled life. even suffering is temporary as well since it usually leads to an outcome that provides another temporary feeling that overrides it for a time. feelings are just a by-product of what we do. and the deeper aspect of life is doing something that you believe in regardless of the feelings that come with it. these are people that usually leave a legacy and some sort of impact. it doesn't have to be anything grand either. sometimes just being there for friends and family, helping others, etc. is the worthwhile thing to do.
