If for some reason, you had to make a choice between, on the one hand, being happy in life, or, on the other hand, having a strong sense of meaning and purpose in life, which would you choose? And why would you choose it?
Which Would You Pick?: Meaning or Happiness?

happiness cant come without discipline and interest by me. Without following what I view is my purpose in life or following what I find meaning in I can't have genuine sustainable happiness.

I would pick both but...If I can't have both, I'd rather be happy then have meaning. What's the point of being meaningful if you can't be happy? You help a bunch of people then go home and be miserable? No thanks. But if I'm happy without doing anything for others, that doesn't seem too bad.

Everything anyone does in life is for his/her own happiness. If meaning is important to you, it's because you believe that meaning leads to more happiness.

damn I guess that's happiness huh
Meaning. Happiness is a fleeting emotional concept. You'll never been happy enough.
yup
If you think you can go thru this life with everlasting happiness you are either extremely naive, or your not living enough.

Without being technical, happy.
Regardless of your/any of our belief systems, our "happiness" withers away with our carnal existance...while our service/results of our purpose lives on a least a bit longer.
