Discussion What makes life hard?

[freedommatrix]

It seems to be the most self evident truths in all cultures throughout history that existence is a struggle, pain. From Christians, to Buddha "life is suffering". Here are the things below.

Toil - Unless you're born with amazing talents to a family that can support those to help you become a financial success or are born into wealth, 90-95% of people in the world will be living paycheck to paycheck.

Inequality - Toil wouldn't be as bad if the world wasn't so unfair. Some are born into a lap of luxury and never have to work while others will toil to the end of their days. Some are more good looking and some will be born ugly. etc..etcc.

Some are healthy others are ill. Illnesses make life not only hard but a living hell.

Regardless of whatever gifts or riches you have or have earned, life will find a way to kick you in the ass. Even rich celebrities kill themselves because life eats away at them. It's a force like gravity that's inescapable and will eventually make you old and miserable.

Human beings make life hard

Born poor, born in a horrible country, born ugly, born with genetic trash, born with health problems and low qi.

basically who is born this way was born dead or failed.

You know the saying "Cogito, ergo sum"? I believe it would be more suitable to say "cogito, ergo patior". I think, therefore I suffer.

Entropy makes life hard. Entropy makes life exist. Entropy makes life.

Every single life form--plants, animals, humans etc have evolved to suffer as a survival mechanism and due to evolution.
Therefore, existence is suffering

This is a beautiful yet true way of looking at it. Sometimes we miss what's right in front of our face. Kudos for the obvious yet blatantly true.

I could get into a long winded discussion about all of the intricacies involved in this topic. But sometimes the simple answer is the best. Occams razor for you.

Constant change, watching yourself and others grow old, living through your mortality

 

[Life sucks]

Life is fundamentally wrong. One human can't face countless problems ranging from abstract problems to daily needs. Thus, its very hard. And its not limited to money and materials, no matter what are the details of your life, if you think about the wrongs of your life, it'll get hard to continue living mentally
