Ok, not to be pedantic, but if I'm happy now with what I've got, why wish for anything else?
And if there are things that I "really" want--this implies that the present happiness was some kind of self-deluding, whistling-in-the-graveyard fake-out. "Oh, I'm so happy, la-la-la...Um, now can I get what I want?"
See that's the line of reasoning that had me confused in the first place. But I think I'm seeing the light...
