That would be interesting but sadly, by a biological standpoint, when we are happy and the feeling ends, there is more activity happens at our pain sensors than there was when we where happy. When a high of any kind wears off we feel much more crummy than we did before.

This probably works the same the other way, after a shitty part of your life, it makes you stronger for what is to come.

That's actually the way I thought life worked as a child, and I don't know how to justify it but I thought this was reality until like a year ago. And then I realized that the universe isn't fair at all and doesn't owe us anything.
