Discussion Do some people truly have no problems in life?

[Hadnafoflife]

By problems I don't mean challenges, Is truly "everyone is dealing with something"

Maybe some lucky rich-asses who are oblivious to the world, maybe

Most people genuinely are, I think. Pretty much everyone I've gotten very close to in my life has expressed suicidal ideation or some other major problem

My deeper spiritual belief is that everyone suffers to some extent. Every single person on this world. Some is growth suffering and can have meaning and some is just meaningless, maybe due to karma or just completely random circumstances you didn't chose. When I was younger I thought only real problems are existential ones but now I don't think that at all. Suffering can mean a lot of things that we don't even see. On the outside you can appear to have everything, money, looks, but on inside you feel inadequate maybe. We also suffer for reasons we don't even know we suffer. Like a stupid person will never understand how it's to be inteligent and wise. Even if they don't fully realize, they are suffering due to their inferior nature. You can suffer for your mistakes, mistakes of others, etc...

At my best point in life, I would say my life was amazing, maybe 8 or even 9 out of 10 but I could never achieve content place in this life due to my insecurities. And I understood that. I could only be relatively happy not fully happy. Part because of my mistakes, part because of others, and part because of factors I was born with. Just how it is. But even if you not happy you can still feel fulfiled, I believe. If you think your life has purpose and you're doing good.

To be honest I dunno people can look stable or ok on the outside but a full on hurricane inside no matter how much money you make.

What do I know anyway

Yes. Everyone, even if they don't know it yet. Here's an intriguing thought, partly and vaguely based on personal experience. Let's say, for years I think things are fine. I think I'm doing basically ok. Then one day I find out things aren't what I thought they were. Someone was hiding something. Something was going on which I wasn't aware of. I was stupid. Then, all that time during which I felt things were ok, looking back, now it's all dark and twisted because now I know: it was a lie, this horrible thing was going on behind my back, etc.

Some people have really don't have any problems (by any I mean no serious problems like financial, emotional, romantic, social, familial). They are far and few.

Most people have problems tho

No. But some people have the resources and support so problems are always manageable.

If I didn't suffer from a big failure that has led to financial problems, I'd have no problems, and I could enjoy life to the fullest.

I don't think I know anyone who hasn't struggled with something at one point or another. Perhaps not to the extent they became suicidal over it but I tend to doubt many lives are all smooth sailing.

I've absolutely noticed that some people have more optimistic outlooks and presentation though so- when they are struggling, you only really get hints. I'm more drawn to the pessimists who find life difficult pretty much constantly because- I lean more that way. I tend to find, in the company of optimists, we start to annoy one another!

everybody is so positive, I don't know how they do it.
