"Ornate chandeliers suspended from a vaulted ceiling lit the spacious chamber; Jack tilted his gaze overhead and noticed how far away they were.  His thoughts wove around those bright lights, like a dance of ether masses spiraling in precious unison. Why must we try to clutch desperately for the mere threads of this world when we can clasp onto a tapestry of untold magnificence beyond this plane of existence?"
At an individual level, could maintaining a strong state of happiness lead to complacency, thereby increasing the chances of lowered productivity?

At this current moment, do you want to be happy when you consider all your short term goals?

Happiness is all I strive for in life. Not just for myself but for others in my life as well.

Well I have the logic that happiness causes greater motivation which results in higher productivity per individual.

Seems reasonable, yet doesn't it seem like there's a certain sense of restlessness associated with unhappiness, or not being satisfied, that could be utilized to pursue a goal intensely, more so than already being fairly happy, or fairly satisfied, at least to some degree?

Well it depends on the person, failing a goal surely cause an amount of unhappiness but in turn, dependent on the person will find determination in failure and strive for a goal this is true.

Surely if someone seems to meet a goal determination is the ingredient to success and thus happiness.

You never really heard of someone down in sorrow completing a life goal or finding true success,  though it does also make sense that unhappiness creates determination to thus be productive which would then result in the completion of a goal, or find happiness.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
