I don't believe happiness is an emotion. Joy is an emotion, it comes and goes. But happiness is more than this, it can be a perpetual state of consciousness and comes in parallel to emotions.

I like to see that as fulfilment, or contentment.

Thank you. This might seem trivial but I was struggling to put my thoughts about this into words for several weeks.
