Things happen all the time that we have no control over and don't make us happy. Love that's not returned. Getting fired because you wouldn't give in to an unreasonable bosses' demands. Someone tells horrible lies about you. ETC.
And yes, we also make life difficult on ourselves. If you drink and drive for example and someone dies, you can't blame the legal system for putting you in jail. If you date someone because they are good looking even though you know they have treated other people badly, don't you have to blame yourself a bit when they dump you? If you don't do your homework, should you blame your teacher for the "F" that keeps you out of the college you wanted to attend?
Anyway ... bad things happen. They happen to all of us. Do your best to avoid the ones that you have control over and learn to accept the ones you can't control.
But most importantly, concentrate on the good things in life and don't dwell on the bad. No matter how bad things get, they almost always get good again eventually.
You're under the common delusion that there actually is some meaning to existence, to events, to circumstances and situations.
There isn't.
The only meaning is the meaning we give it.
I'd bet dollars to proverbial donuts that one of your personal mantras is, "trust your feelings" or "go with your gut/intuition."
Am I right?
To live by basing your life experience on your feelings is to live ruled by fear, because fear is the most powerful emotion (yes, more powerful than love... I wish it weren't true, but it is).
Fact is that sh!t happens. How you react to and manage the sh!t that takes place in your life is 90% of how you will experience your existence.
So you can "trust your feelings" and live in fear, or you can live in hope.
Choice is yours.
If the mountain was "smooth", no one could climb it.

I think both. Life is difficult as it is with all the obstacles there and we make it even harder by doing the wrong things or even worst by doing nothing and just going with the flow!!!
if everything in life was easy there wouldn't be accomplishment. =D
life problems are like storms which in turn give you confidence and wisdom when you go thru them.
Its mostly because people don't plan ahead well.. Also, their plans conflict with the plans of others.
All you can do it set your goals high and don't get discouraged. Life isn't meant to be "fair", just do your best to lead a worthwhile life.
life can be a bastard because most people make it a bastard to live in
I so do not get this either
