Our happiness depends so much on the external world

A group of friends are sitting at a restaurant and chatting casually. There are girls and boys. It's easy to see that they are having a good time.
One very beautiful girl walks in to the restaurant. 2 of the girls look at her and it's obvious that they feel jealous and threatened. I wonder, if your happiness can be replaced with such feeling by some random external object, how are we to ever be happy?
It's just not possible. If someone or something has the power to cause us pain or any feeling other than joy, we have to worry a lot, because we live in a world full of people and things.. of all kinds. Something or the other is sure to walk past and destroy us.
