But what i meant was that to be happy or unhappy is just a route that you choose, so why not choose the happier one?

GDP refers to the sum of total value of the final goods and services produced in a country during a given period.
I agree to a certain extent that GDP per capita is useful as an indicator to the quality of life.
GDP per capita is derived from the sum total of all goods and services produced by a country divided by the total number to people in the country.
By doing so, it provides a common basis for comparison of all countries in the world.
When there is a high GDP per capita, it can mean that the citizen are able to afford food, shelter and education. Singapore, Canada and the USA are examples of countries that have a high GDP per capita, and the citizens generally enjoy a good quality of life.
However, a high GDP per capita does not automatically mean that the quality of life is good. This is because GDP per capita does not take into account the distribution of wealth. Not everyone in the country have access to the same amount of resources.
Saudi Arabia is an example of a country with a relatively high GDP per capita, but the wealth lies mainly with those involved in the extraction of the country's crude oil.
A good quality of life is concerned with more than economic well-being, as it also takes into account personal satisfaction of cultural and environment conditions.
If a higher GDP per capita is achieved at the expense of living conditions or the environment, eq. rapid deforestation due to an increase in demand for wood products, then the quality of life cannot be said to have improved.
GDP per capita does not take into account unpaid work such as homemaking, volunteer work and community service. These help to improve quality of life, but they are not reflected in the GDP per capita. Hence, GDP per capita does not reflect accurately the quality of life.

But if we enjoy a good quality of life, why are so many people been aw aw? And why so many people want to migrate?
