life can be simple if we try to live a perfectly normal life

what i mean is when we avoid making things life complicated by getting into bad habits and other things that make life complicated like wrong relationships. but the temptation to enjoy life in ways that are not good but may be acceptable in society in already is quite strong. so because of the strong temptation to live live out of the right path is so strong. that i think it is a struggle for most to live the good life. the ideal life for me.

I believe in the saying "Life is what you make it". I think that just having a positive attitude can help you to live a happier life. It's the same as saying is the glass half empty or half full? or Every cloud has a silver lining. I think the happiest people in life aren't the richest, or the best looking, but the ones that can see the good in everything. That see the glass half full, and can see silver around every cloud. As to the relationship part there are tons of reasons people stay in bad relationships. One, they don't believe they deserve any better. Two, they don't want to be alone, and have to search all over again for a new person. It's a scary thing to start revealing yourself to another person. We stay with who we're comfortable with, even if they make us miserable, they already know our bad parts and are still there. We know they aren't going to turn around and say "You're crazy get away from me". Three, children. Couples will stay together because they don't want their children to go through the divorce. Though most people don't think that the negative atmosphere they are creating is actually worse for the children. There are plenty more reason they stay together, but I think these are the top three, at least in my mind.

I agree, we are only human. We make mistakes, that's normal, the trick is to learn from them. Even if it's something you've done over and over, if you're genuinely trying to stop, and each time you try a different way to not do it, you're doing good. On the other hand those who don't care are the "bad people" of the world. The ones that treat everyone like dirt and don't care. I believe these people are the most miserable in life.
