Short term happiness can never be enough to fulfill long term needs. While they are in some ways necessary to alleviate stress or a certain weightiness the world can have, they do no remove the problem, they simply mask it. This is why nothing changes and also why, as you described, these feelings are fleeting.
The bigger the man, the bigger the challenge, and if a man is to consistently mask his problems in the hopes of resolving them, then even the smallest of challenges may come across as the tallest of tasks. Education, progression, bonding with kin, and personal health are the way forward for long term happiness.
