Why is it that life is beautiful for only some time

We can pretty much control that, like sometimes we create our problems, for ex., hanging out with the wrong people, or putting ourselves in a bad situation. However, not all those people you described are as happy as they seem, but if they are, all power to them. They planned wisely and worked hard for it. Otherwise, they appear on the outside to be happy and have it all, but don't think they don't sweat property taxes and huge maintenance bills for maintaining the house, they may have medical bills and really be struggling just trying to keep up with the Joneses. Those kind of people are not happy. They're only worried about appearances. Plus they have huge car debts cuz they have to have the best car so they look rich. Their life is not so happy as they want people to think. And what good is all that stuff if you're in bad health?

And another thing to consider, is that if life was just smooth all the time it would get pretty boring. No challenges and problems, actually help us to learn and grow. They tell us that something in our life needs to be changed so we can get back on track and be happy.

I work for those people and they are arrogant asswipes ,they get their kicks flaunting what they have . Some of the most miserable people i know.

{@brickbybrick] it is just what side of the blanket you are born i guess .you do not really have much say how it will work out just got too make the best you can i suppose

we all turn to dirt eventually. No need to get them.
