The other option would be that we were all just surfin' the net happy as a clam, stumbled onto babble and decided to have a lark. And some of us (not me, unfortunately) just hung around for a few years out of boredom.
My guess would be that, with the exception of a couple of pranksters that show up from time to time, everyone is here for the same reason. We are all hurting in some non-physical manner and want to find a way for it to stop.
And for happiness - I know what it is to be happier (less sad) but I don't have a clue if I was truly happy then. So much for 'if you never had it, you don't miss it'
A quote I heard a while back - "Happiness isn't having everything you want. Happyness is wanting what you have." (don't know who said it or I'd give credit) That's a twist in thinking I'm striving for.
