The word 'happy'
What can 'happy' mean? In a negative sentence, in an affirmative sentence or in a dubitative sentence, for example:
He's not happy because he does not feel identified.
She's happy because of the impression she gets when she views her portrait.
He's not very happy because he is scared about mortality but he appreciates the quality of the picture.

Happy is a positive emotion which describes how you feel when something is good - the best Spanish translation is probably 'contento'.

I think that in the first sentence, 'not happy' means 'dissatisfied'.

Well gee it gets pretty philosophical now. Not happy might mean unhappy (or the opposite of happy.) but it is not telling you much. I'd read beyond the sentence to get an idea. I often find it means angry
And in last example he is worried about mortality but is still able to take in something good about the painting.
