optimism is a great quality, as i have come to know. However, the very definitions of sadness and happinness are human in nature, and thus subject to every single person in their meaning.
Atrocities, your logic in that question lacks one major point - sadness is not lack of happinness.
Sadness and happinness result from unusual circumstances, even if those unusual circumstances mean no unusual circumstances. Everything inbetween is a grey area, a feeling of contempt i guess.

I hope im not repeating anyone's opinions, but thats mine.

EDIT: however, its nature's way to balance everything. if a person is always happy, or always sad, its time to question his/her sanity - sometimes, at least, i think.
