Well first let's look at freedom. Freedom is being able to have your own (as John Locke would say) inalienable rights. These are life, liberty and property. You are free if you have these rights, and you have the right to infringe on other people's inalienable rights.
Then there is civil freedom, which is when you have your rights, but these can be taken away if you infringe upon other's rights. (this is a good thing)
Now for happiness. Love gives us security, and security lets us be happy. So you could say that love gives us happiness. If that's the case, then as long as you are loved, and you love, you are happy. And everyone loves, and is loved by SOMEONE.
So we are not truely free, because being truely free would be able to take away someone elses life, liberty and property. But we are happy, because we are loved, and love.

No they are binded by the chain of an uncool world full of crime, disaster, lies, deceit, terror, fear, bad luck, etc. To be happy and free you must try hard as can be because it is hard to do. But when you release your inner demons and embrace what the world gives you-for example-Crap, then you will be happy and free from the worries of what you cannot change.
