Why Do Some of Us Lead Such Tough Lives

Why is it some of us have such a tough life most all of our lives while others go on about their lives with so much more good luck and all that? I am wondering why all the time but it's almost as if I expect it now. It seems I was born to be in a bad living arrangement. I can't seem to get out of it, I'm almost 50 and have led one of the most horrid lives, mostly due to my fear of driving in my later years and agoraphobia. Plus the people around me with their mental problems, too. Manipulation, control issues, family members with no conciences, drunken relative, etc. Before that it was due to people/kids making me feel like I was ugly and just didn't fit into society. I just feel like I can't take it anymore, sometimes. How do some people live with themselves being so manipulative, mentally abusive, controlling and even lying to get their way? They have got to be Pychopaths (I can't spell it). I was told to shut up, & that I was acting like a child and other things just in the past few days when I was defending myself cause no one else would. When do these things come to an end???

Is that really bad? I am sorry to hear that story. Sometimes, I ask questions like that too whenever I have a problem, mostly financial problem... And if I found myself down then I will find ways to search for the brighter side. Everytime I am in that thinking I will just sigh and said, "what a life to offer?"... After the time I spent thinking of my situation, I will think about the people in the street that keeps on begging for some food to eat, the scavengers, and the victims of nature's wrath. Then I will realize that still I am luckier and should be thankful...

Try to explore your self. Dive in your metaphysical elements. On its, you can find what happen truly. Then, try to solve the root of your problems.
To do this, i suggest to learn more about your self, learn about your duty and how do that. I have experience on hypnosis, tai chi, and Islam(it's depend of yours) that this life is started from one spot, runs with its "rules", and finished to one spot again, without repeating.
So, i've tried to learn my self, learn about the "rules", and i try to solve the root of my problems.

I love tai chi, and I used to learn it for a year. It gives me some different experience of life, though I'm not old at all. Yes, root of the problem, try to find it, it's the key to solving all problems.

I wondered about that myself too. =( It just seemed rather weird that some of us had to work hard, but then again there are others who does seem to have an endless well of money... =( perhaps their troubles are different from us. perhaps their troubles are not of money, alright but they are not happy, they are with no permanent partners, and all that.. we can't really say...
All i know that in this life, we are to face with many challenges and those who come about successful are those that become the men we may have known today.. they are those who think differently, they are those who does not settle for what they are given, but rather they take what they think is rightfully theirs.

I am deeply sorry for your life experience. I am in my early 30s and have experienced discrimination within the family for years to the point of feeling like i don't belong. However early this year i took courage to appreciate myself more and this has helped me see obstacles in my life from a positive perspective. I think taking the following steps will help ease your afflictions:
a. Define who you are
b. Define your purpose in life- you really are blessed
c. Write down five positive things you love about yourself and affirm them within you every time you are faced by a difficult situation
d.Who are your friends? Do they value and appreciate you?
e. Build hobbies you love and involve family and community
f. Take a look within, see the beauty you have; take a look at the people around you try to see their positive side.
Wishing you the very best as you handle positively the hurdles that come along in this life.
