Illusion, delusion, and hallucination are what we own, what we actually possess in any sense of neural states.
So if we're going to go to the considerable trouble of assigning one range of those states the label "happiness", it turns out really stupid, and self-defeating, to make any assumption any thing or experience can MAKE us happy (directly induce that state- we still have to administer that drug, perform that meditation, view or hear that beauty, engage in that activity, and it has to affect our neurology in a certain way, for the concept "making us happy" to be other than oxymoronic).
