I think 'the pursuit of happiness' is both simple and profound. People don't have the right to BE happy, but they do have the right to try. That's all it's saying. Happiness is not guaranteed, only that you are free to attempt to get happiness yourself.
Personally, I suspect Khan was pretty happy and content. I'd much rather be Khan than the Buddha. Nirvana sounds boring.
We're looking for happiness in all the wrong places
