I've been thinking a lot lately about how unhappiness (and conversely, happiness) can be a learned behavior--or habit.  I think this applies both in the sense that people have a default, a (learned) state they tend towards when no outside events are pushing them either way [toward happiness or unhappiness] but also--more interestingly--in the sense that doing (or not doing) things to create happiness is a learned behavior.
