I definitely think that it's impossible to be happy all the time.

You wouldn't know what it's like to be happy unless you have bad times.

We use words to represent ideas, feelings, objects, etc, but the word doesn't mean what people think it does, the word means what your mind is experiencing when a certain feeling is experienced, or object is seen, etc. I hope you get what I'm saying here. There are so many times that things are almost impossible to put into words, and could only effectively be communicated through direct mind to mind contact. I think the ability to be completely and totally clear and understood at all times would ease some ills, as a lack of communication causes a great deal of suffering. Not from a lack of trying, but because language isn't sufficient to express and communicate certain things, which often happen to be the most important and influential things.

I get what you mean, if I DEFINE happy as a cheeseburger and you define it as a new car, it's different cause but still the same feeling.
