What is it about sadness that gives a sense of realness to life. Why does happiness feel comparatively fake?

Maybe my question is wrong. Maybe I’m comparing a state of deep emotion (sadness) with a state of superficial emotion (contentness). But even feelings of Euphoria can feel superficial in retrospect

I feel like any emotion feels real when you’re experiencing it and pretty superficial when you’re not. Sadness is often accompanied by lots of thinking as opposed to something like euphoria or anger where you’re riding a wave, so that probably makes it feel more ‘deep’
