This need for a reason is the direct product of our lack of happiness, and very probably a way to compensate for it (justifying our ordeals is basically a strategy to make them more bearable). When you're happy existential questions become irrelevant, and all you want is to live your life.

The feeling of happiness being devalued by its abundance is like saying living in apnea is the ony way to appreciate oxygen. Surely, you appreciates it more after running out of it, but aren't you much happier to constantly have all the oxygen you want ? ^ ^
