Life Isn't Easy As You Think

I feel bad when I encounter people who complain a lot about life. Some say 'life is unfair', 'life sucks', 'life is messed up', 'life is a mess', and a lot more. My question is "what have you done so far to improve your life?" We see, people love to complain about anything but were they really able to do their part? We do not know.
Who said life is easy? Because in my opinion, life is never easy. There are so many complications, too much complications in life yet we choose to live. Life is never easy so whatever comes to destroy you and bring you down, have the courage to stay firm, be strong, and be the bravest you can possibly be. For me, it is okay to cry or shout and to feel upset even if it will make you look stupid , but the most important thing is "never lose hope". Never ever give up and always put in your mind that with God, nothing is impossible. Trust in Him fully and you will have a better life, possibly even the best life.

for me, life is not meant to be evaluated according to ease or difficulty. i believe it is meant to be lived as it is. let it flow and come with faith in the goodness of the earth and the Good Lord. i have given up complaining because it does not do any good to my goal and plan. what i do if things are not going well is to re-evaluate the situation and what needs to be done to get back on track.

I totally agree that when people complain about their lives, they should take a step back and see what they can do to improve it. What are they doing to make things better. When I hear people say that life is unfair and that it sucks, I always think to myself that hey there are a lot of people that are out there that are far off worse then you are. This is too what I think when I start thinking like that when things are going good, but then I'm like hey you can always fix your situation and make things better for yourself. You are right though that we should never give up and we should stick to being positive and one day things will turn around.

Very well said. I totally agree with you. Life is never that easy and it depends on us on how to treat our life . Well, sometimes, I complain about my life but at the end of the day, I still can say that I am lucky more than the other.I just say that do not complicate life and just enjoy it. Live life to the fullest and do not stress our selves with problems. Problems are just there. It will not disappear an dit is part of our life. Just accept and face it.

I agree with but if we have a good support of friends in our ups and downs ,we can face any problem in life,I have under gone such situations I am blessed with them.But any how we must also not lose our self hope of facing ,onemorething what ever happens we have to think that it happened and we have to take full responsibilites for it,instead of blaming others .That makes the situation much better.

You are the driver of your life so it depends on you how you accelerate to reach your destination. No need to complain because it's up to you how you run the car of your life
Even though life is full of complications still I am happy being alive. In every problem you solve, a great satisfaction you will feel.![](/Content/images/emotes/wink.gif)

Yes, people do tend to complain. In my over sixty years here I have found that things do come back around. No matter how bad it gets. I am an agnostic so I don't 'give it to God' and I have come out fine. At some point it has to do with your own strengths and life does go on.

I think life has something to do with how you find comfort in life. If you can get what you want easily, life is easy for you. On the other hands, however, if life isn't with you, you may say that life is hard. People have the ups and downs. When you are on the ups you tend to think that life is easy.

I agree with you so much. Some people do say those things when they're having a bad day. Maybe they got laid off or got cheated on. Sure, it's understandable to say those things at that moment, but all that can really save them is their own hope. Hope that things will get better... and they probably will as time passes!
The people that complains about life just to complain really gets on my nerves because it sounds like they're trying to be attention snobs. I'd pay no sense to them and walk away.

Life is as easy or as difficult as you make it, you, the individual have the choice as to whether you make life enjoyable or make it so damn hard. The choice remains with the individual, if they are not going to make change or do something and quit complaining that life sucks then they are their own worst enemy. I have been through tough times in my life, the bullying, the abuse, the depression, the break downs, but here I am still alive! I am a firm believer in what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We are given tests in life, and how we overcome them or fail them is what makes us who we are.

That is exactly how we should live our lives. Life didn't promise us to be always in such perfect situation. And these challenges that we encounter each day should help us mould to become a better person.
Everyday is a challenge. Everyday is a survival. Instead of being frustrated with things that made our lives in a not so good way, we should be able to see what is beyond that and strive to see the brighter things in life.

I'm not really trying to be the reality checker here in this discussion but has anyone thought that not everyone has the chance to change things???? Some people have been dealt a really crappy hand in life, plain and simple.
For example, some people work really hard but since they have been out of work for SO long thanks to this economy it will take at least A YEAR to catch up on behind bills, most likely longer than that. Things are getting shut off every day in the house, there is barely any food to eat, etc...How do you suppose these people IMPROVE THEIR LIFE? Are they not doing what they can already to change things??? Working hard is the answer which their doing and NOTHING is getting better...
Sorry but I am realistic, I don't live with my head in the clouds and think I can change things because I cannot. Life is hard and it does suck most of the time. Now, if you come from a rich family or you have things handed to you, then your one of the lucky ones... But most people do not have it that easy at all...

I agree that everything is possible with God. It's the glass is half empty or half full thing. People saying life is unfair would fall into the pessimistic category. People who choose to see the positive side of things would say life is a blessing. It's a mindset thing. Focusing on the positive side of things is better for our health though :)

Yeah i agree with you. It's easy to live but not easy for life.What we can do is just keep a positive attitude and no matter how hard we've been through,never give up,totally believe that the sunshiing always come out after the darkness.
