Man is an animal with ever growing needs and wants. We are all selfish creatures and we know that too well. We do things just to fulfill our needs. We behave in a certain way because there is an underlying need that we have.. :)
Just want to share my thought on this.
When we are hungry, we eat food…. Our need of hunger is satisfied but if we have our food with our loved one, our friend, our family, we feel good and happy.
Shelter is required, so we have a home to live in. Who we live with, is important? If we are asked to live alone all our life in the most beautifully made house, our need of shelter will be satisfied but we won’t be happy.
We all have emotional needs like we want to be loved; to love; to earn; to build our status in the society etc. Here again we earn a lot of money, more than we had thought of but who are we spending that money with would define our happiness.
Same is with human physical needs.
Needs could be fulfilled. But just fulfilling your need won’t result in happiness.
If I have food to eat, home to live, partner to sleep with, money to spend but no loved one around me, I would survive but not Live!

you are talking about the third layer of maslow's hierarchy. Loved one comes after we have a home and food to eat.
Read your Post !
Nice thoughts !
Beyond the Emotional & Physical needs of a Human Being, there one MORE thing which MUST be for the ATMA ( our inner Image of Godliness) which is DIRECTLY in link to the DIVINE ( God).
We must therefore make our Journey in this World with the Goal to reach HIM !
If one view his/her Life in this concept, then the HAPPINESS is ALWAYS there !.....When one is "fully dedicated" then Happiness & Sadness are on the "equal footing"....& your All ACTIONS are dedicated to the Divine.Maya of Sansar can not touch this Being . He is liberated !
I hope you like this Thought !
