Civilization and Its Discontents

civilization and its discontents can be read as an extented argument for the claim that 'it is hard for [the human being] to be happy in civilization'

Why precisely does Freud believe that civilization poses insuperable obstacles to human happiness? Does this imply, for Freud, we would be happier without civilization? Why?
