Krishna Yajurveda 2.2.6
Agni had three elder brothers. They perished while carrying the offering to the gods. Agni thought next is going to be me and he ran away and hid in the waters. The fish found him and informed the devas. Agni cursed the fish that you will be killed at pleasure. That is why the fish is killed at pleasure.

What is happiness ?
While the advaita and yogic schools of thought are for a way of life where one stops differentiating between good and bad, heat and cold etc. and considers the world of duality as an illusion and attaining the above state as the sole goal of life and the highest form of happiness, see what Charaka has to say about happiness in human life ( Charaka Sutra 30.24)
The person not affected by any physical or mental illness ,is youthful in nature , strong and energetic , having fame, courage and valour, possessing knowledge, having healthy sense organs , having abundant wealth and various kinds of enjoyments , having achieved the results of his actions and is free to move about wherever he likes is happy.
