Are we programmed to be unhappy?

Can we be constantly unhappy?
Is it possible to be so 'programmed'?
That no matter what life throws at us
Nothing can make us happy...

In "addictive programming"
Our emotional response produced
In the limbic areas of our brains
Makes us experience varying degrees
Of emotional tension
Regarding our fears and desires...
We process incoming sensory information
Finding it threatens the fulfilment
Of any one of our addictive programs
Our consciousness will be dominated
By feelings such as fear, anger, 
Resentment, jealousy and anxiety...
Then the more deeply we are enmeshed
In an endless network of 
Emotion-backed demands that yield
Continuous threat, tension and unhappiness
Happiness varies inversely with addictions...

The definition of unhappiness:
A psychological state arising from the
More or less continuous disappointment
Frustration and emotional tension...
We experience when life repeatedly 
Gives us what we do not want to accept...
