Joy is the goal of existence, and joy is not to be stumbled upon, but to be achieved, and the act of treason is to let its vision drown in the swamp of the moment's torture
There exists two kind of people one for whom joy exists and for whom joy is nothing but mere abscence of pain. This nuance can very easily and quite markedly describe the state of mind and the line of thought of the people under question.
Those who feel joy exists, are the one's for whom the stat of joy does not stay for long, for as soon as they achieve what their heart desired, they do not waste time to sit back and cherish it. It does not mean that they do not cherish their achievement, they hold it high, amongst the lights of the heaven, but they soon set their hearts on something else, and set out on another journey, to achieve what to them seems a source of even more happiness. Such people hardly realize that its not the goal they cherish, its the path, its the journey to the cave of light, to the apparent source of heavenly joy. And those who overlook this joy of day to day life, remain sad, remain lonesome, for they feel they can never be happy, nothing can bring to them what their heart desire the most, eternal peace.
Over the other side we have those who have no precise definition of joy in their dictionary, these people feel life is nothing but a train to be run on a fixed schedule, who feel life is a timeline that is to be followed. They do not have any desire that erupts out of their heart, there is nothing, nothing that brings exhilaration in their life. These people are as good as zombies, they have a soul that was dead before they even took birth.

We do know a lot of people in the 2nd category. Weirdly enough, those are often quite successful
Well yes they are ... cuz the definition of being successful is orthodox, its not if you have achieved in life what you want, but what the society in whole wants, being successful is by definition not linked to your internal happiness which is strange enough
