They are quite happy living their reality.

Well, what is happiness? Don't you think it's the state in which the human does not want to change anything? We say, for example, that someone is happy because they are in the circumstances they want to be.

These people that you speak of, seem to be looking for something all the time, to always be going somewhere, and that is a symptom of deprivation, therefore, they don't have what they want.

Maybe, just maybe, they seem happy in our eyes, but "seem" is not the same as "being".

maybe being in that state is their happiness..?

No one knows another's heart, and to project and define it by your own terms, is destined to fail..

Of course, this is a Byzantine discussion.

Not really, I've thought for many years, that someway of identifying these types of people would be great step forward for humanity..
(universal psychological monitoring up to 16 would identify 70% of these personality types, emerging into adulthood..)

Very 'big brother' though, I admit! (worryingly so).

Surely, although that cure is potentially more dangerous than beneficial.
