Suffering is a bit of a strong word. Contentness (which is how I interpreted "always happy simply because it's your nature") is not entirely synonymous with happiness, though. Being satisfied with your life the way it is would not give reason for you to do much. Happiness by itself is situational but if it's in your nature, it gets completely devalued; I know people who are only happy whenever they're working - wouldn't it prevent them from working any further if they're happy doing anything? I agree that happiness can fuel your mind with motivation and creativity but that's only if you have a reason to be motivated and creative.

'Meaning' and 'Belonging' are human concepts, though. Maybe I'm just nitpicking too much in what you said (specifically the 'happy because it's in your nature' part) since I believe that humans without that hunger - the need to understand why they live - can better society.
