Suffering exists because of our attachment to grasping and aversion. We regret the past, try to change the present or are fearful of the future. This becomes a habit of cultivating different thoughts and emotions relating to the aforementioned rather than making a conscious effort to develop and cultivate compassionate thoughts and emotions.
Trying to get quick fixes of happiness through material objects which are ultimately empty because they are impermanent as they are subject to change and do not exist in and of themselves.
This is the root cause of suffering. I believe this subject was quite well covered a few thousand years ago if my memory recalls correctly
