Probabilist: I don't see where anyone said "a happy life is a boring life".
With music, though, like any other form of expression -- literature, movies, theater, and so on -- you lose the vast majority of your vocabulary if you decide to self-censor any creative ideas that don't pass some sort of "all happy, all the time" test.
It might be one of many effective ways to manifest positive things in other areas of your life, but not the best way if you're genuinely passionate about the art forms themselves.
This isn't to say you shouldn't work towards doing pieces with a greater amount of hope and humanity, but if there's no conflict, there's no story. If there's no dissonance, there's no resolution. If there's no tension, there's no release.
