The happiness state is not an absolute value, it is the derivative. It explains why even people in the most shittiest situation can be "happy". Otherwise, once you have your 5 basic needs you would become perfectly content.

We are not evolved to become happy, we evolve to strive to become happy. But this is a trick, there is not destination to this journey.
