-Removed-I don't care what you want to talk about even here; THE REASON the OP was written was not to discuss any specific truth or matter of happiness; I've said that countless times. You want to discuss them, do it; I'm not going to stop you or even say you are doing something wrong. I'm not going to participate because nothing specific was my intention here; your wanting me to change my mind is not my concern.
I think you have given wise advice for the next time I do something like this.

Discovering a truth feels good too, so there does appear to be a connection between truth and happiness.
Been working on a few mate in 2 puzzles and came across one I couldn't solve right away. How can two little moves be so hard to find? I did eventually solve the puzzle, but only after considering some counter intuitive moves.
Truth or truisms can be like that too. Not immediately apparent, or even having the appearance of being false.
@kilroy70 saidI sort of dislike that type of truth when the guy I am playing sees a win against me. 🥺

@kellyjay saidImagine what it would be like if you never lost a game. About 35 years ago I was on a winning streak that lasted for weeks. Then for no apparent reason I completely lost interest in playing. A few years later I joined an informal group of guys who met once or twice a week to play, and won every game played for nearly 2 years.

( Two freaking years!! 😳 )
Lost some games after that, and it didn't bother me at all.
But that was half a lifetime ago.. now it bothers me when I catch myself sleep walking through games, and submitting moves like it was click bait. lol
@kilroy70 saidI played with a group of guys. I was probably the 3rd best of 7 of us until a 2300 player showed up; he was a microbiologist at a hospital in town. He was, without a doubt playing at a different level. He was like playing a bull constrictor. He would take whatever we gave him, but typically he just squeezed the life out of us—a solid positional player.
