Best answer!

If everyday was easy, you would never appreciate what you have. The rough times make the wonderful times, look even more wonderful. It seems to me that very often, the most pleasant people, are the ones who have been through some horrible experiences and yet, hold no bitterness. They just accept that life can be very difficult at times.

it seems to me that you have learned a lot out of life considering how well you answered my question and i just want to say thanks for the advise,the world needs more people like you who are strong and keep smiling no matter what life throws at them....thanks again

commented 11 years ago

Ducky

Thank you for those kind words but please understand that I am NOT always strong and smiling. I've had times when I've absolutely "collapsed" because of what life has thrown my way. That's when you need support from those closest to you. I have often kept things to myself and THAT has not been helpful for my well-being. So my additional advice would be to talk to someone whom you trust. Everyone needs a confidant to help with life's struggles and it has taken me a long time to learn to be less independent and instead, lean on someone...just a little. :)

The personal choice to be in-charge of my own life would have been better if I had not done that. God does a much better job, happier than what I tried to do. But options are what they are and being alive and well and happy at this point is a miracle.

Not the first time this question has been passed around.
Life isn't all that difficult. The problems lie in our interpretations of what it is supposed to be.

All have their load in life, and as Bob says, it is not all that difficult. There are always some with a worse situation than others. These trials make one stronger!

WE had a prime minister (Malcolm Fraser) way back in the '70s who stated that "LIFE WASN'T MEANT TO BE EASY".Boy did he cop it for that little gem.:)

Life is like a card game. Some people get the good cards, and some people get the bad cards. We all have to play the cards that we've been dealt.

I personally don't believe that some people get "the good cards". If you get to know someone really well AND they are willing to talk to you about the intimate details of their life, you'll find that EVERYONE has gotten some of those "bad cards". You just aren't aware of them. I found out when a friend was in her 60's, about something horrible that had happened to her, decades before. I was the first and only to learn of it because not everyone talks. She appears (to others) to have received only those "good cards".

commented 11 years ago

kaybeeeee

you don't play the game once, and each time you play you get either "the bad cards" or the "good cards",but you don't throw down your cards before you play. i think that's what Mycatsmom is tryna say...

i don't mind going through some tough times,
i just don't understand how people don't care enough for each other that we would have to hustle hard for something we can get for free if we lived as one..

Life is what you make it. No one is going to make it easy for you on this planet except God the father. I suggest you pray yourself through it like I do and life will be peachy again.

you can pray all you want to GOD but that doesn't change who you are, you must remember that!!!!

Your attitude and faith are what get you through life, arivera43; your situation and difficulties may never change (get peachy again), but your attitude and faith will get you through anything.

Because life is complex even at it's most basic level. Everyday situations, objects or life events, no matter how simple they may appear are complicated and involved. Life consists of various cycles and these cycles interact and even collide making the intricate even more convoluted. These complexities require us to make tens of thousands of decisions daily, both conscious and subconscious. Even the simplest situations are fluid and complex beyond our understanding. Just enjoy the illusion of simplicity.
