FC, quit reading your damn books.
I think that happiness changes depending on the person. I don't think there is or ever will be a general standard by which people should judge their happiness on. I also believe that different factors affect happiness at whatever age that person happens to be in...we change our interests, priorities, and concerns as we move through life. For example, as you mentioned before, (seeing as how you covered pretty much all of the bases), physical well being is much likely more appreciated by those who are older than young strapping blokes like us.
Anyways, I think the question is, in fact, irrelevant, simply because one standard cannot practically cover every single person.
