After letting it sit for a while and in response to your original post, here is my perspective and understanding at this time:
Polarity, as I understand it, is a mode of work which arises when one experiences self-awareness and awareness of "the other". Prior to perceiving the self and the other as separate entities, there is no polarity; there is no choice. As you know already, polarity begets a choice between accepting or rejecting elements of consciousness (parts of existence itself, the self, the environment, emotions, beliefs, change or united perspective).
Would we not experience rejection in some capacity, we would be unable to experience our current perspective, an individual perspective. Similarly, if we did not experience some degree of acceptance, all there would be for us to experience is unconsciousness. The question of polarity is how much we accept. Acceptance of all (which could also be described as love of all) is the default state. Every veil is partial unconsciousness, a rejection. We veil ourselves, if only to create the dynamic experience we have now.
Polarity in my eyes isn't so much about happiness but, more objectively, about the mode of navigation of life we choose, globally and moment to moment.
We are inherently one and united, and so it is my understanding that we are naturally attracted towards the uncovering of all fragments of ourselves, intuitively guided towards acceptance of all that we are. It is only through resistance we encounter separation and through will that we maintain or increase this perceived disconnection. Resisting one's original state may cause pain whereas gliding through what comes "naturally", in a state of non-resistance and satisfaction, may cause pleasure or, as you term it, happiness.
Therefore, while it would make sense to pursue the positive polarity in order to harness more pleasure or happiness in life, I would argue polarity isn't necessarily "about happiness", but rather that happiness is a likely emotional response as a result of this choice, either made consistently or sporadically. Claiming positive polarity is about happiness is looking at it from the angle of subjective significance rather than objectively. It is not false; simply a bit skewed in my opinion.
Personally, if I had to slap a word over positive polarity, it would be "peace". But what "it's about" isn't a quality; it is simply a method of operation.
Additionally, in a complete mode of acceptance, there is little to no need for will. One who chooses this path of least-resistance will find himself soaring through the waters carried by its currents, his desires and dreams serving as compass.
