Buddhism claims that wanting happiness too much is the issue for, not being possible to have all happiness one wishes, if one tries to, one faces disappointment or sufference. That is true in a sense. If in the illusion, you can't have something, wanting it will create sorrow.
However, if one inspects the event further, one realizes that the one that is can have all it wishes for it is all, which means there is no wanting too much and ceasing wanting is not necessary. Only is stopping to think that one isn't all there is.
For thinking will create a sort of void in one's illusion where all that is, which is nourishment or joy, is distorted into hatred and sorrow. This is a "problem" of wanting. One wants to distort oneself. But to say it is a "problem" of desiring happiness seems rather misleading.
