Stronger people are faced with bigger challenges

It has not to do with being stronger. The 'God will only give you as much as you can handle,' applies only to the chidden of God, So anyone else who has not been chosen by God is on his own. Therefore a person who is very weak may be made to fail more and a person who is of strong character may not get put through strong trials. If you are a Christian not just in name only, then God will not give you more then you are able to bear. It does not matter if you are of a strong character or not.

There are several reasons for some people having tough challenges. Some might be their Karma, bad choices, no support system, and low self esteem. I do agree that some are given more serious challenges because they are stronger and can handle them. BUt they also may take it as a normal part of life to have these challenges too.

It all depend on where you are living; what sort of government and social environment you have to face with every day. Basically, life is not always fair due to government created many unfair policy to prevent fairness from taking place in many part of present world especially in developing world, ordinary/average people are not given anything in their life except had to work hard and struggle daily to have some things in life which is very different from what you described that people are given more than they can handle. Trust me, in many countries, if you are a member of minority group, you have nothing in life except have to struggle daily just to put food on your plate; stay alive and have a decent standard of living.

Life is fair in the way that any of us will have the chance to face big challenge. It is very likely that your chance of hitting a concrete wall is the same as mine. Just you are the unlucky one that the wall really appears right in front of your rather than me. So, if you look at any individual, sorry, life is NOT fair. Some are born in good family while some grow in the poor family. How could that be fair? How could you call it fair if a poor kid need to not only complete his study but also do part time job just to continue his study while the others can have spare money to enjoy a foreign country stay every other month?

Actually, what I know is that the strength of the person is revealed only when they faced challenges. An issue can be viewed light by others because they are strong. However, those with poor coping mechanism sees small issues big. Thus, on my opinion, the question of how light or heavy an issue is depends on the subjective view of the receiving end. Just my views.

The reason why people struggle is because they cannot accept things any other way than the ideal they have in their head---whether it's an acceptable ideal (living in peace with all humanity) or an "evil" ideal (abundance beyond measure, not caring whether anyone else has such abundance). When their ideal isn't 'the way Our Father gave it to us' but -is 'the way it really is,' people feel they have to labor to MAKE IT Our Father's way again. If they accept it the way it is, they seem lazy--of course--but they don't have to worry about how 'wrong' it is That reminds me of a recording I'm going to make about Make Promises Happen (MPH): I don't know if MPH actually has a written 'Mission Statement,' but their name is a LIE ... they seem to be more about 'keeping their "customers" (we brain-injury conquerors) out-of-the-way-of-life,' rather than 'getting us back-into-life.' I think MPH may be an additional foe in my struggle against brain-injury the way 'the butler' is an additional foe in The Joker's struggle against BATMAN

I guess everybody on this planet has problems, but the people who are actually strong are the ones who fall down and get back up to solve the problem rather than remain fallen. It is very common to see people failing because they have other problems and using those problems as a reason to get their guilt off. But most of the times it is just them and not the problem itself. There is nothing called as stronger person or a weak person. It's just the mindset that makes people strong or weak. bourne

I have often wondered the same thing. Seems like some people have so much to bear & others don't. Makes u wonder for sure .

I was born with a disability. My positive attitude, faith in God and sense of humor help me to cope with challenges. I view my disability as a gift and a blessing. We are never given more than we can handle.

the more challenges we have, the more opportunities for us to learn, life really isn't fair sometimes but it still depends on us how to handle our own problems. Different people handles differently, if given the same situation, and its what makes the difference.

Well, maybe your explanation is right, and maybe some people have easier life than others. I am also struggling with my life, not only my family, but work, and also my love life. All has been a big challenge to me. Nothing smoothly as other people going through. So, I am one of those people who is also in a struggling mode right now.

Life is basicly fair? Sorry but I don't agree with you. We all don't have the same chances or opportunities nor the same start. And if so we don't have the same parents, childhood, character. It's not that stronger people face bigger challenges but that they do look different at problems they have to face. Instead of sitting and praying and hoping they are fighting for something better. And if they are not able to get that they know at least they did their best. And for those who always have to deal with the same kind of problem (financial, love, relationships, etc): as soon as you change you will see those kind of problems are over or at least not weighting that heavy on your shoulders anymore. Why? Because you changed and so did your attitude. Although this doesn't mean you have the same opportunities as others now.

Many people are able to handle their challenges without others know much about it. Others like the drama and attention that goes with problems. So they make more of it. I think attitude has a lot to do with the problems one has. And choices that are made. I have noticed that I am able to block out and head off a lot of the stuff people go through by the choices I make and how I handle my life and emotions. Yes, it is said that bad things happen to good people. They happen to bad people too. We just don't notice it as much. I know we think bad people never get what we feel they deserve or fast enough. But, I can assure you they do. The universe does revolve around order and balance.

I believe that it is in our darkest hours that our character is built, in order to build the strongest possible character we must spend longer in the those dark moments then the average person. Once we do emerge from those struggles there truly will not be anything we can't handle. Don't spend to much time feeling sorry for these people though because there is an upside to this story. Those who face grate adversity have the fortune of knowing what is really important in life. The things that seem to throw an average person of track are of no concern to a person who has faced much larger struggles. They are able to face each day appreciating all the small moments but prepared to handle all the big ones.
