Most of the time life is unkind and it is not of anything we have done. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, rejected rulership by God and chose to side with Satan the devil and that's the main reason life is unpleasant. But it will not always be that way. God has made arrangements to soon put an end to the devil's work. Then, life will be much different for obedient ones.

I have read the Bible dozens of times and I've never seen that passage. Give me the chapter and verse. I really want to read that for myself.
Psalm 55:22 (New International Version, ©2011)
22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.

Do and think of only one thing at a time like this. Which is your priority. Money? Life? Then try to find a solution and focus on this. Don't always blame life, life is whatever you make. Maybe you did not do anything wrong, but you may have approached it from the wrong angle. Try to look widely and find out the solution.

Hi "jennyze",
Great response. I couldn't agree with you more. In alot of ways I could relate to "purplefury" but through good friends that weren't just shining me on and who gave me some sound and sometime rather harsh feedback and suggestions on how to get my situation back I've started to being properous again. Granted it has taken me some time to bounce back in this economy but I am coming back.
Often in life we humans like to blame our personal situations that have nothing to do with society or government when with a little thought and common sense we probably would not have gotten into the situaton in the first place. However, in this current global situation and crisis I have to admit it is much more difficult to keep it togather. What do you think?

"purplefury",
I know it is difficult to think positive thoughts when everything around you that has to do with your life seems to be coming apart, especially money which seems to be the main complaint of people world wide but stop and think about what is happening right now in Japan. So you see things could REALLY be worse. In that situation I don't think the people were thinking about how much money they could take with them or even about their expensive material things. The lives of their loved ones and their own lives were their main concern then. So you see things could be worse. Just look it at this way, today you may be a little financially down but tomorrow it could all change for the better and good fortune could suddenly smile on you when you least expect it. That's one of the pleasent surprises in life that from time to time makes our presence here on Earth interesting and occassionally fun. HANG IN THERE IT WILL GET BETTER. IT ALWAYS DOES!

It may be bad. But the best thing you can do is just stop panicking and focus. You need a clear mind and positive thinking. Oh and gotta have faith. Sh*t happens. It`s inevitable. Here`s a promising quote to remember. "It`s not about what happens to you in life... It`s about how you handle what happens to you in life." Keep your head up. If you`re still breathing, you`r fine.

Hi there, Life indeed is a voyage that takes you through so many ups and downs. You tend to worry when downs come and tend to be overwhelmed when ups come. It is very essential to prioritize things that you want to do in your life. Stop for a while and think! What is it you want with your life. Do you want to earn lots of money? Do you want to give all your time to your love? Do you want to learn the skills of balancing both these things? Stop being negative and ponder upon what positive changes can you bring to your life.
Don't worry, your troubles will end if you remain positive.

The only thing i can think of, as to why you are having a tuff time right now is you are about to have a break thought. Nothing in life is easy. I would suggest to take it day by day, and just look for the better and not for the worst. I know, you may be saying easier said then done. But if your pride is in the way of asking for help, you might not get any. Good Luck with everything.

You wonder right? Life is really unfair? Think about what happens it all happens to undeservedly ... ... when you think everything goes perfectly and suddenly stopped ... when you like something and suddenly you do not have permission ... you hope ... Stay away and sometimes you wonder ... I can fly? Although the wings of your choice on anyone else's. Can I shine? You can have light but prefer to take someone else ... your life ... All I gave you away ... just how did all the happiness. Life has ups and downs ... it's sadistic torture you ... shows you how to get ahead is elated but not too much ... then it takes you all the happiness to turn into an agony. I pick up at the sky but until then you slam the depths of Earth.
But another question arises: "Why do we fall?
The answer is simple: "To get up again."
Whatever gave you life, however it take to fight for what you learn ... learn not to give in ... if you want to fly but not your apripile but if you prefer to shine the light of someone else ... do not you do not resign as You do not take them ... fight ... Do not quit!

Im sorry to hear things dont seem to bright for you. LIfe is here to teach us all lessons, and we hopefully learn from these lessons. Its always easier for other people to give their opinions and advice, but they are the ones that dont have to experience.
I unfortunately dont nearly have all the answers, but I can tell you this: Life is one big balancing act. One thing will balance another thing out. Life comes at us and it involves the good and the bad. I think alot of people make the mistake of expecting only the best and when the bad rears its ugly head we go into a spin and wonder why life is unfair. The only way is to deal with it with a positive outlook...like I said before, easier said than done. Dont look at this as life being unfair, look at it as alesson. Learn. Be observant and I promise you the answer IS out there. And remember life is a balance of good and bad, you might be dealing with the bad now but if you stay true to yourself, be positive and I assure you the good WILL come. Here is a saying that I hold very close to me: "When you cant change the direction of the wind, adjust your sails."
I truely hope that you find happiness within this adversity. Believe in yourself and be greatful you have friends and family to turn to. Imagine having to go through rough patches without them! They are truely your strength :)

Why are the people in this world so cruel?Will there ever be a day that goes by that we're not worrying which bill we gotta pay next or when our paycheck will hit the bank?Will there ever be a day when those snot nosed spoiled rich kids don't get it all?

Hi "venmanolov",
Througout history since man first appeared on this planet that question has been asked and to this day it still has no answer. As far as bills and debts are concerned, it is up to each person how they want to live their lives. Granted some people are more fortunate than others financially but the bottom line is it is up to each individual how they live their lives. They can feel sorry for themselves and blame all around them for their misfortune thus becoming hostile; blaming everyone else for their misfortune when in fact if they put forth the positive effort they might would get positive results. I ask you why some people in extremely financially and resourcefully deprived countries thrive and seem to do quite well and their neighbors who are in the same situation do nothing but complain and cause trouble and violence. What's worse is there are groups in so called affluent countries who could help out some of the unfortunates but they do nothing.
Yes life seems so unfair but in the end it comes down to each individual to do their part to make this a better world to live on for themselves and their neighbors. After we all have to share this rock and it is the ONLY one we have for now don't you think?

Before I decided to answer your question, I viewed your profile to check on your age. This way, I can be able to answer your query appropriately for your age.
I have several questions though. Why you tell that life is unfair at your age? I mean, have you done so much to say that? You are so young and there are still bigger and tougher things you will encounter. At your young age, you are already complaining.
My dear, if you face challenges at your young age, God is testing you how far you can go. Life is not unfair actually because it is us making it unfair. Perhaps, the proper term is "ironic" and not "unfair". You have to understand that any result of what we do is an outcome of our decision and choice. If you are in a wrong path, that means you made a wrong decision and choice.
Indeed, you cannot change the past, but you can do something for the present and future. Every challenge or trial is a life lesson. Think of the deeper view. Ask yourself, "Why are you in that kind of situation?"...You may perhaps did not think that you have done wrong, but is it for you? There are things that we desire, which sometimes are not God's plan for us.
Think and meditate.

Firstly you are still quite young. And you know the things you mentioned you will have difficulties on and off during your lifetime. You need to look things being that someone may have a harder time in life than you yet they continue and maybe even not complain. There will always be someone who will have something better than you, it's just part of life. However, if you want something better you need to get a strategy and find a way to get there or close to it. On the other hand it takes character to also accept your current situation and work with what you have not work against it.
I think everyone feels life is unfair in one aspect or several. We all struggle with something. The person(s) you may compare yourself to may different things that put strain on their life but because you do not walk in their shoes you have no idea. Look to see the things you do have going for you not what you don't and what you can do to get closer to things being the way you want it. And it's ok to accept your life as it is for the grass is not always greener on the other side.

I ask the same question all the time because I am a generous giving person. I have always shared my apartment with family because I feel blessed to have a place to stay but at the end I'm behind on my bills and no one offers to help. They just get up and leave me with the problem when I start to feel down about it because they don't want to be around me when I feel that away. I have a love in my life but like everyone else you know that love is suppose to be sweet and of course you have your problems but what if your love is sour and you have problems. I keep my faith in this though because I do believe we will make it to where we want to be if we try but its getting there thats bothering me and moneywise my life feels like a whirlpool I help anyone anytime I can. I sit back and think about the things I have done in life to try to pin point where the karma would come from and if karma has came around and was two times worse already shouldn't it get better after my karma comes around and I learn a lesson from it? lol I wonder what have I done wrong also all the time and I haven't came to a grand conclusion that I deserve this.
