Without wanting to invalidate your insights experience you because I agree, we should ascend that path of happiness you point out.
But Ankh does have a point. Sadness is a gift. When we remember the people or experiences that are no longer with us. Or those we only feel we should know. We're acknowledging their importance in our life. Sadness can be experienced as an acknowledgment an energetic emotional hug that can sometimes be enjoyed. You could call it remembering your roots.
On the long term we should go for happiness. There is nothing worth being sad about to such a degree that you throw the rest of your life away sobbing over it. But there should be no shame or guilt in having the occasional sob. It energetically cleanses us, a good cry can be very liberating.
