Perhaps delusional happiness is an okay thing if the person is not at all aware. So then his/her private world would seem well with them even when others would never want to be in their shoes. If the person is able to see into a more objective happiness they would have to have a bigger measuring rod of positive to negative feelings. The person who is delusional may only really be experiencing a very low level of positive feeling and account a high level of happiness for a low level. So in reality, even subjective reality this person may actually be minimally happy. In order to be happy a person really need a lot of experience in all possible ways that person can discover in the world. Sometimes if that person is ignorant then they would benefit a lot from admitting the great possibility that at least they are ignorant about a great many things concerning the joys in life. To not only admit that you don't know much is good, but to be curious and active in finding more about what's out there is likely to result in a change in a persons subjective and objective happiness. Objective is what others observe. If a person is thought of as happy than more people will want to be their friends, which will magnify that subjective happiness unless that person has some social problems of liking others. So why do people like others? Most people say like attracts like as the main reason. But happiness in it's most simple forms is universal in its desirability to most people. The most simple form of happiness is when the happiness is caused by universally enjoyable situations and activities known to create warm fuzzy feelings; such as dancing, food, good beverages, good appearances, humor, creativity, and generally an enthusiastic mindset. At which point a community can develop and a tribe which is where we all originally came from anyway.
