Very few people are unhappy all their life. You just grow used to your situation however crap it is. Its how a majority of the human race stay sane. This is especially the case if the conditions can be rationalised and if there is no direct/obvious way of improving your situation. For this reason, people can endure imprisonment, enslavement, "conditioning", ritual abuse/humuliation/mutilation, crap/dangerous jobs. compulsary schooling etc At the end of the day we are just herd animals after all.
