How difficult is life supposed to be ?

First of all, let’s state the obvious – life is difficult. And I believe that this is independent of your social or financial status, where you live, whether you are boy or girl, man or woman, ugly or beautiful. Somehow it seems to have built in a gadget or some secret device (life, I mean) that as soon as you solve a problem it throws a new one at you.
Mind you, I’m not complaining here, that would be like complaining about the weather. But it seems that some people suffer more than others – why? Why don’t we all have the same ‘amount’ of suffering. Is it because we all have a different capacity for suffering? Do the powers that be only dish out so much suffering as you are able to handle? And if so, is it a good thing to be able to suffer a lot? I believe so, since suffering requires the solving of problems, which in turn requires us to learn new tools and techniques to be able to solve those problems. So, is suffering a blessing in disguise? Please share.

I think that it is a misconception that not everyone suffers, everyone suffers, some just suffer in quiet and do not talk about it a great deal. Myself I am very open about the things in my life that I have gone through and I discuss them with others as a way to get through it, it is my therapy of sorts. Some will never open up, and we think that they are lucky that they do not suffer, but that is not so. everyone has challenges in their life and things that they suffer with and from.

Hey,
Well I don't really know how difficult life is supposed to be, I mean, other people have life that is really too difficult for people to lead. But others have a really easy life that is too easy to lead, I don't know what to think. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I use to ask all these questions until I read and learned about The Law Of Attraction. It has been life changing, answered so many questions and lets you know that life is suppose to be good. And the way you measure success is the amount of joy you are living.
Since learning about this Universal Law, I have been the happiest I have ever been and no longer "suffer" and live in the moment without any dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
If you do read this, I hope it brings you all the joy for life it has brought me.

It may be some theory in Buddhism or Christianism to regard suffering as what we deserve. I don't take prejudice toward these two religions, but I do think it's somewhat self-console to look suffring as blessing. No one wants suffering. We make all efforts to get through the difficulties ; that's what we have to do, not what we wish to do. Don't you want to lead a comfortable and happy life instead of being surrounded by troubles? That's human nature. We can't afford to be saints to welcome the suffering though we can get improved in the process of solving problems. That's what I think.
