Do you believe that life sucks? Why?

Thank you, yes he is. That's an apt word to describe life - a roller coaster. Thanks and take care.

@LadyDuck Yes, I do agree 100%.

@Jenaisle I am sure that no matter how people may be rich or famous, everyone experiences bad days.

I like what you said that life is a gift from God. This puts a bright perspective on the topic, Thank you.

@Jenaisle you are always welcome. God bless.

I like that about finding growth in the downs of life.

@Jenaisle. Being positive in the negative is also a great deed..carry on

I think that the number of people feeling that way has increased in this century.

@BabeSays yes it is

@Jenaisle It's so depressing. Especially when your family members betray you.

I see. what part are you in the most? Up or down?

@banksim good for you.

@Jenaisle mixed part

I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks. Take care too.

@Jenaisle Fifteen now? Wow, you must be so proud of him.

@AmbiePam Yes, he is a youth leader in church. BTW, he resides abroad with his family (daughter and family)

You're so sweet. You know how to present the topic in such a way that one feels "lighter" afterward. Thanks, he is 15 years old now.

Yes, he is. You're right. Life would be boring.

Yeah, it is. opposites always exist.

@Jenaisle that's true otherwise life becomes boring

Wow, it's like someone doused me with cold water. Come to think of it, you're right. It's a matter of perspective. If I view or perceive them as good then, they will be good. But what about if it's really bad such as murder or rape? How can you see that as good?

@Jenaisle I do not see murder, or rape as being good, but in the context of those bad things happening to someone, they can still try to recover from them, and still live a good life for themselves. In God's perspective a rape, or a murder, is not as bad as you think it is, because it occurs from a bad side, and from a not-so-bad side too. God allows bad things (which are bad) to happen, as bad things are a part of the freedom of choice (the not-so-bad side, but which can be bad, or good) granted to us to live either one way, or another, and yet it does nothing to take anything away from either God's goodness, or our own goodness, or the goodness of the world, it just adds badness from a person choosing bad, rather than choosing good. The good person affected by the bad though, is hard to explain, unless God is allowing that to happen, for reasons of his own, as he did with Job, in the Bible too.

@innertalks I had to read this twice because I find it difficult to connect the dots. But from what I understand. This can be represented by the quotation, "Life is 10% of what happened to you and 90% of how you react to it." Is this right?

Your belief in God is incredible. God will keep you optimistic in your life. and that's wonderful.

@kobesbuddy Keep the faith and God bless.

@Jenaisle So, faith in God is what keeps a person contented, regardless of how circumstances become, at all times. God is my only source of joy, in this world!

@MarieCoyle I hope everything's okay with you. It's okay to come on and off. Most of us do. Enjoy your weekend and take care.

Hello, Marie, I'm glad to see you here. Yes, we do have to try if we want to live life to the fullest.

@Jenaisle Hello back at you! I have hopped on and off of mylot today, not been able to stay very long at a time, but hey, I was here. I'm always glad to see you, as well!

Being sick really sucks. That's the lowest your life can get.

@Omariba I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I hope things get better soon for you.

@Jenaisle when you can't go out shopping for your favourite dish. They usually say "I couldn't find it" then damn, u come to realise that everybody is running against time - their side being favoured - because it sucks, considering their perspective, so they don't have time to attend to whatever is dragging u down. Aaaaah..no

Wonderfully said. Your words are so inspiring. Where did you learn to write so well? I could have not said it so perfectly. Thank you for your awesome contribution.

Hello Suhadi Warsyah @Suhadiwarsyah I can see you still had not posted a discussion, I hope you do, so you could earn more.

@Jenaisle Thank you for your praise, but I'm not that great. I just frequently read articles and novels whenever I have free time. From there, I learn many vocabulary words and other valuable lessons that are important to remember and apply in life.

I like that notion of somewhere in between. That could be good moments.

@much2say Yes,

@Jenaisle At least they are better than the ones that totally suck .

Thank you. Happy MyLotting.

@Jenaisle your welcome, you too

Yes, I think most of the time?

@LindaOHio Have a wonderful weekend too.

@Jenaisle Quite often for sure.

Thank you, yes he is.

@Jenaisle you are welcome

Your behavior towards life and your perception would affect how you see life.

@Jenaisle That's very understandable in deed

This is an awesome thought. That's correct, always comparing yourself to others would cause unhappiness. We should learn to be grateful so that we can become happy. Thank you.

@Jenaisle with my pleasure
