Next Stop - Happinessville or Not?

Today's quote from Real Simple is -

Happiness is a direction, not a place. — Sydney J. Harris

How do you feel about that quote? It makes me somewhat angry. It makes it sound like this thing called happiness is not attainable. It leaves the concept of happiness up for interpretation. How do we know we are headed in the right direction? If we are always striving for happiness and contentment, but have nothing to reach in the end or it moves, then how to do know you are going in the right direction? So, is what I feel right now, the happiness direction? If it is then I think we may live in a very masochistic world and happiness is an illusion!

Namaste
