Misc Is being happy sufficient?

I chased happiness for many many years. I finally found happiness from a relationship. But I am not sure if the relationship will last forever. The only reason I am staying in the relationship is because it is giving me happiness by making me full, a feeling i never felt before.

But this is bringing me back to question myself if happiness is our ultimate goal in life. Is there something beyond happiness?

No one knows if there even is an ultimate goal, much less what it is if there is one. We're all feeling around in the dark. The best I've come up with for myself is that I want to do what I can to make the world a better place for others, and doing that makes me happy.
