Buddha himself demonstrated that the path to enlightenment is one that we find for ourselves, it isn't given by a deity for good works or pious attention to a set of rules. Reliance on some sort of "deus ex machina" solution for your unhappiness is pointless and futile. You have to povide the effort to achieve it.
