What, O Monks, is the origin of suffering? It is that craving which gives rise to ever fresh rebirth and bound up with pleasure and lust, now here, now there, finds ever fresh delight. The Buddha (Digha-Nikaya XXII)

There is hope. There is a way out because:

Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.
