They are taken ill by a disease called consumerism or materialism.
Look at what’s happening especially during holiday season. People go out like packs of wolves eager to satisfy their hunger for joy and happiness only to end-up with more debts and useless products in their dumpsters.
After the X-mas lights go out the depressions walks right-in. Once the presents are unwrapped our joy and happiness is thrown in the garbage along with the gift-wrappings.
What we all seem to forget is that joy is a heart filled with love and happiness a mind free from anxieties.

Joy and happiness are internal states of mind; they are within. Nothing or no one can strip them from you. You can make the internal states a part of your life if you try. The feelings contentment and satisfaction remain with you if you moderate your thought patterns, reactions to events, and influences on you.

One who can grow beyond the narrow self... whenever one can forget oneself completely even for some moments... one can experience the Joy and Happiness at such times.

Socrates gave the solution... "Know Thyself." The eternal inner bliss is there and will always be there... but is simply covered up with anxiety and worry.
The bliss dwells in your own "light of life." And it is accessible.

The same thing that happened to grammar and spelling. (you can't sell it and you can't pump it into your car to go faster so people don't care about it)

It's still here, it's all on what you make it.
