>You are naturally supposed to be happy and content all the time.
No, as an animal, you are supposed to engage and manipulate your environment to extract the resources needed for survival, with an imperative to reproduce. Thats it. Contentment arrives when stressors are maintained at tolerable levels or eliminated entirely. Happiness as an emotional state, even if you could pin it down with a consistent definition, is almost always a pointless emotion at best and often is maladaptive in and of itself or through its attainment. Most often, in at least english, when people use the word "happy" they either are actually describing contenment or just making culturally appropriate noise to another human.
