Do you think life is tough ?

I'm late to this discussion, but better late than never as they say. Life is very tough. But like you say, you should never give up because life can get better. Thomas Edison was the one who said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." I agree.

Life is indeed tough. We have to face up to it, accept it and live with it. Living a tough life is not a bad thing after all because it gives us the necessary experience to live and share. More than often, we feel inferior compared to people who has a much tougher life than us. By listening to them, we wish we can be like them, living in awe. IF they can make it, why can't we? In life, everything is a process, there's nothing permanent. Even the most stable kind of life, can change alot when there are slight disturbances.

Hi! Life is really tough. Too many hassles, too many hardships, too many challenges. I'm actually faced with the biggest problem of my life right now. My friends don't know that I want to give up already because I always show them a strong front. There are times that I just want to end it all. I just wanted to live an easy life. Why can't people give me that? Why can't life give me that? A friend said we have to experience hardship to fully appreciate the happiness in life. But I don't want too much hardship. One hardship at a time is okay. But please don't let them pile up. I'm not that strong to take it.

Of course, life is tough. If it isn't, then it wouldn't be "living". Tough times are tests of how well we face life. In the past, I have always believed that in most times in my life, I've had it easy. I wasn't born rich, but we had enough to get by. I was born with very loving and responsible parents. I studied in a good school and finished my degree in one of the best universities in our country. Then, I met a great man who became my husband and the father of my two lovely daughters. I felt so blessed and sometimes, I was afraid that God would take it all back and give me a huge curve ball. And then, He did. I am now facing one of the toughest problems I've ever had to face in my life. My husband has been out of job for the last 4 months. We are merely getting by with my salary and it is tough because my girls are still little, one is 3 years old and the smaller one just turned one. My 3-year old daughter started going to pre-school which makes it even tougher now that we are a one-income family. Our savings are slowly depleting and we know that if my husband doesn't find a job soon, then we would be facing harder times. But it's alright. I have faith that we will survive this. This is just one of God's many challenges and he's given it to us because he knows we can handle it. We have faith in God and faith in ourselves that we will somehow overcome.

Yes, life can sometimes be tough. It would be curious to have available statistics on human happiness, to have tools to measure how much of what we are is happiness, how much of what we are is disappointment or anything. Maybe so we have a chance to reorder our priorities to become artists of their small lives, having to face our feelings more easily. And yet, are nothing but attempts, attempts to define life, happiness, sometimes sadness.

Yes I agree life is tough but not at all times.In these difficulties we learn. We learn how to appreciate life and we learn how to cope up with everything life can bring. These difficulties makes us a better person and a braver person who can face any trials and problems. These difficulties are spices of life. Life is never easy but we should never look this way always because after the rain, a sunshine always comes in.

Yes life is tough. No one can claim life is but easy. No matter how good, how rich or how self-sufficient one can be, there will always be tough times. God after all did not promise us blue skies always Neither did he promise flowery pathways all our lives through, nor a life without rain or sorrow, or pain. Indeed, in this life there will be trials and difficulties to encounter. Those are part of life and can't be avoided. Do you know this hymn, God Hath Not Promised? Here are the lyrics: [i]"God hath not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God hath not promised sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But God hath promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, light for the way, Grace for the trials, help from above, Unfailing sympathy, undying love. God hath not promised we shall not know Toil and temptation, trouble and woe; He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel, needing no guide; Never a mountain, rocky and steep, Never a river, turbid and deep."[/i] What were written in this song are true to me and you. We therefore have to expect difficulties to come our way. But we have nothing to worry, God has promised never to leave us nor forsake us. So everything is gonna be alright through God's wonderful grace.

Yes, this is true. What we all need are good friends and family members to help us through the bad times. I have severe depression with panic attacks so I know how horrid life can be at times. Sometimes we think things are going to be really bad but it may turn out not to be nearly as bad as they have concocted in their minds. Meditation and visualization is a good way of getting past these times.

Unfortunately, that is what life is all about the ups and downs. Tough times are factors of everyones life. We have to go through them, especially now with the economy the way it is, it seems that more and more of us are being effected by these hard times, whether it be personally or financially. But we have to stay strong, keep our heads up and survive through it. Eventually it will get better.

Yes friend today's life is fill full of tension. Every person is living in tension. Some person has money problem, some has health problems, some has children problem everywhere tension tension tension. So in my opinion life is tough.

Yes I think life is tough. Sometimes to the point that I feel like I can take no more, but somehow have always managed to come out of it. Life may be tough but I feel there's always a way to come out of the toughness. Yeah and we should not give up but fight for what's ours

In life we face some difficulties due to some toughness, then why not life is tough?? Everything is really tough when we feel to difficult to manage the things in life.. Either health, finance, interpersonal relationship and so forth.. Yes of course many a times we find no one to help us and looks like we are facing all the problem by ourself.. In this regard, we should be very strong in facing our problems out.. I personally feel that facing anything by our own is much better than expecting others help.. Also we get full satisfaction in that when our tasks are performed by us without having any help..

Life is really tough if we don't know how to handle it.Especially with the problems we had encountered in our everyday life.We should know how to adjust our situation in order for us not to be stressed out on the things that is happening around us.We should not give up things easily and we must have the courage to pursue on what we had planned and to be positive on whatever trials we had encountered in our daily activities in life.

Life is really tough. With the changes that is happening every seconds. You need to adapt to it as fast as you could or else you will be left behind. You will going to face a lot of challenges daily. I think life is the toughest thing on earth

Life can certainly be tough and difficult sometimes. life certainly does present its challenges. I can't say that life has been easy all the time. It hasn't been for me. And I'm sure that life will continue to present challenges in my way. But I'm sure that that's the way it is for everyone.

Yes life is tough, although I do think that some people have an easier ride than others. Handled positively, I feel our difficult life situations can ultimately make us a stronger person, but it's hard to stay on top all the time.

I have heard people say Life is not easy or life is what you make of it, I believe I have went through some really tough times in the past and it can only get better as I see it I do believe the saying that Life is what you make it even when I am really down and had bad days I keep myself in a good mood somehow I am always laughing at something it is all we can do to keep ourselves sane because IF i didn't try and stay happy when I am really down I would be a train wreck!! There is always difficulties and things that we might not ever understand and all couples help each other and of course the fighting and then the make ups but you know what? Life is too short!! I don't and won't give up on anything that comes my way even though I tell myself sometimes OH Forget This!!! I give up but you won't see me give up I will fight to the end until I get it right! L.O.L. Have a good day out there.

Life certainly is not easy for many and for some it can be quite difficult. I have gone through a great deal of ups and downs and though one is never free of life issues, one cannot simply give up. There is a world to live and all we can do is try. Trying will not only allow us to perhaps succeed but it will also give us a chance to perfect and or correct in many ways. Though for some maybe they spend a lifetime trying and never succeed but the idea is that one will not know if it is ever possible if one does not try.

no, our like is not tought. and this is my opinion of why our like is not tought. go back to our past centurys. lets go to XX century: my grandparents, and probably all the grand parents had a tough like. they didnt have the rights that we have today; they didnt had the clothes, technology and moder stuff that we have today; most of them were almost "forced" to go the WW2 at the age of eighteen after they had all the liberty of an adult. in the XIX century and all before that. Most of the people were pour. they lived in awful houses, with no conditions. you had to work 2 times more than nowadays, and also they received less money, and most of the children started working on 4 years old. Who says that we have tought life, they should go to africa or something like that... be gratefull for what you have ;)

ya life is tough and especially now since we can see nowadays the competition is increasing very much .there is huge population in this world and many wants the same thing we want .actually the cause of our hardship is that our desire are huge and our capabilities are small . the way to be happy is to reduce your desires or work hard to increase your capabilities
