Hi friends, as we all know that we have to face both happiness and sadness in our livies as it goes on. But in life, sadness is more than happiness. In my personal experience, when life hurts me, i do get more and more closer to my GOD! It gives me calmness. Because life is harsh. It teaches ur lessons everytime when we forget its lessons! In my thinking, life hurts because to make ourselves more closer and more contacted towards GOD! What do you guys think? Do tell your opinions

Many times I have found that when I get hurt it is because I have ignored a Godly principal. I do not know why it takes me so long to learn something, but I think we all tend to be that way. Many times we get hurt because we have unrealistic expectations and then are let down when it does not work the way we thought it would. When I really get hurt, I do not like to dwell on it very long. I like to give it to God and then look around for someone I can help.

During my down moments, I turn to God and pray. I do find comfort in God's presence. Heis my hiding place and greatest refuge. Truly God is faithful in comforting me.

there is nothing that we can do about it than accept it. or just be bitter about it. life could be so harsh and hard. i have experienced so many things in life that made me bitter person. sometimes it made me a better person. there are only two options to better or bitter in life. it is hard to make right decisions in life. sometimes i would wish that life could be like a bed of roses. but it is not. it could be a bed with many thorns on it. sometimes those thorns will make us bleed real bad and make us wish that this lie will be kind somehow to us. how do you respond? it will depend on the person and what kind of problems he was going through. some problems don't affect us and will not make us feel bad. it is like some people is not bothered if they don't have enough in life or if they just living with few things in life to get by. some people will not be contented if they don't have those luxuries in life. and so different people react to same situations. i guess it will depend on our priorities in lief and what is important to use.

That's a broad question. You feel your feelings. Don't hide them(anger,sadness)from yourself. You allow yourself to feel it. You know it will pass. But you don't rush it. You examine the situation. You try to figure out if there are moves you can do for the future. You recognize that you can't change the past. You look at your options, You don't punish or sabotage yourself. You feel the hurt nad the pain but you make the plan to move forward to a gealthy place. You know that life isn't fair. It is random that people make mistakes. Even if you make mistakes, you are human, you forgive yourself.

friend, all you have written, is 100% right. But i think if we get closer to GOD, we get more solutions, more planning. Because, one day when life gets to an end, we have to move towards GOD!

Only sadness is more than happiness in our lifes, can we feel true happiness.As you say,life is a teacher who gets us grow up and tough.It is no possibile that we have always lived in greenhouse without suffering failure and hurt.

Mithoo... When I am having a difficult time in life, I stop and think to myself that this is just one moment in time. Think about what God tells us "... and this too shall pass" will you still feel this hurt/confusion tomorrow or next week, or next year? Probably not. So validate your feelings, learn from it and breath.

when life hurts me. I cry. when tears starts to dry up, i pull myself together and start to stand up. I always feel good after crying. Yes, Life is hard, life is not at all Happiness.. We all need to toughen up and face the sad fact that in achieving happiness, we must put up with a lot of sadness and hurtful events in life. In the end, it will all be worth it.. Because knowing that we stand up everytime we fall is a great achievement and that proves ourselves better persons. :)

I feel the same... whenever I am passing through intolerable phases in my life I cry infront of god and ask him to pardon me...because I feel whenever we go through bad times, its because of our own deeds most times...as god punishes us. And when I just cannot handle it anymore, I totally break from inside

Some misfortunes ocurred to us in life are set by God, such as disease and failure. We feel painful or depressed so that we turn to God for help as well as solace, through which God keeps us more closer to and not deviate from him. God says, "Misfortunes are sometimes bless in make-up."

I pray to God and ask guidance. He is the only my last strength to whom I can count on. The bible says..."Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) and yes I agree that sadness is part of our life, and if you are strong like a Narra tree, who still stands after several tremendous storms (i am referring to problems, anxieties, frustrations and other negatives that you may think of) you will be happy too after all of these trials. Remember, life is full of both extremes. Like happiness and sadness; success and failures; hot and cold; good and bad; Oh! they are all antonyms right????
