I think happiness is when perception of reality surpass expectations... if your expectations is always higher than whats going on you won't be happy regardless of how many people you help. Im not saying helping people doesn't bring warmth, and good feeling emotions. I just think your perception of life, and where or how you expect things to be is a big impact on your happiness. It's good to be ambitious in life as it helps you acheive things, but if you are never appreciative , and grateful you will never be satisfied with what you have. So as long as you always keep your expectations really high, and it doesn't come into fruition you will be miserable. Just my two cents.
