The world is so beautiful; nature is so colourful with so many contrasts, with flora and fauna, with hills and seas. Yet life here is not a bed of roses. Why? Then is it really a bed of thorns? What is your opinion?

Life is Life, we live in a man made society where there are rules and regulations. If we were like the animals we would be living life as it was intended. Also living in this modern world, life is what you make of it. If you want life to be like a bed of thorns then it will, if you want it to be a bed of roses then that will be. It all depends on how you look at life.

I don't like flowers. To me they symbolize a fake apology. So I'm happy life isn't a bed of roses, lol! I think there is good and bad in life. If we are lucky , the good times will outnumber the bad.

With me, life is beautiful because there are mix between roses and thorns. They make life become colorful and we must against to reach to roses.

The answer is in your own startement.Besides excellent smell and wonderful colour rose represents both sides of pleasure and pain in that it consists of thorns also.When you think of the bright side it is very nice. Really bed of roses is of pain and pleasure.Therefore life is not bed of roses as we want life of full pleaure only..

God create the world all things bright and beautiful. It depends on how you live the life that God's given to you. And I do believe that everything happens for a reason.

I think that if all of us had a real easy way of it we wouldn't appreciate the good that we do have. We have to have a bit of bad times to make us appreciate the good in life. Some get more than others. Not totally sure about that but we all have to have some hard knocks to appreciate the good.

Life is hard! Life stinks sometimes! The older I get the harder it gets! With health,mostly! Life can be a bed of roses when life is good! When things are going good! When things aren't it is a bed of thorns! With my life I love when it is going great! Then it isn't long before it goes rotten,agian! I wish life was better then bad! I want my life to be easier! Instead it gets harder and I am not looking to what life will be like for me in 20 years! I am not thrilled!

My opinion of Life is "Life is what you make of it" Sure the world is a beautiful place all the pretty nature scenes and people and yet the pretty things can get ugly if you know what I mean? Like you never know when a disaster is among us! We could all be sitting here happy enjoying our time with family and friends and the next minute a tornado hits! So yes it can turn ugly but those things are beyond our control. It is sad that weather things like that happen to us but that is a so called part of life! I am always happy even when I am in a bad mood because life is too short to be angry, depressed, or in some kind of bad mood because you never know what tomorrow will bring us whether it is a miracle or a disaster!! But either way we clean up after ourselves and go on with this thing called Life and it is a wonderful thing!! Take Care out there, and have a good day!!

For me if you love to each other and find true love in your married then you find it is a bed of roses.

Yes, some of us have to go through hard times, but you know what, you just can't tell what tomorrow will bring. You make your life the way you want it to. As of some one who suffers from depression, I used to think that life was not worth it, but we are here for a reason, and one must endure the pain. After all, not everything is bad, and the sun will shine again for most of us.

The world is indeed beautiful and nature with all its different aspects is wonderful,and from this point of view we should really enjoy life.Unfortunately,also in this world we have society with all its negative aspects:politics,unemployment,religious dissensions,poverty,racism and so on,all of them caused by mankind.So,unfortunately ,it is us who turn life ibnto a bed of thorns in most cases.It's a shame that we destroy this beautiful planet and make life so hard,and I don't believe in a radical improvement.

Life is a rose on each petal is an illusion, and each spin is a reality!

Life can be many things for sure. It is full of a lot of wonders, that can be as beautiful and smell nice as the greatest flowers. There there a line of vines with thorns on them can ensnare us and really harm us a lot of the time. It really depends what step we take in life. It can go back and forth and life can lead to a multitude of grand things.

Life is challenging one and meaningful. IT is the one teach us for where we are and who we are.
