What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

A common misconception people have about happiness is that it can be achieved  by accumulating objects that bring delight or satisfaction. Of course that is happiness, but it is transitory because it prepares the field for futility and emptiness when the objects disappear. A variation of this arrangement is that happiness is merely the feeling and that feeling can be experienced at will through chemical means.  This approach leads to abuse. Happiness then may be seen and experienced under any of life’s circumstances. Happiness is an emotion and also an attitude.  Might I be happy at the funeral because I met the deceased’s son or daughter?
