You can only vote on one answer.
There's been an awful lot of bad things happening. There's pain, loss, death, despair, and unfathomable human suffering everywhere.

What is your ultimate assessment?
I think we should remove god from schools. Relentlessly attack the nuclear family. Promote drug use and promiscuity.
And attack each other publically with venom and bile.. and see what happens.


Oh wait… yeah.. my bad

That we may become stronger in faith and conviction, in the face of adversity. That is the true promise of life and love!

I loved it! 😊

@Oster1 To the Demon, who downvoted my reply, I pity you, fool!

What a sorry excuse, for a human being! Come on Coward, give me another!

I hope you feel stronger now!

You give me, so much more strength!

Thank you! 😘

From my perspective, life is mostly suffering, with occasional good times.

Maybe life seems like shit because we get real time updates on the current state of the world. The media tends to cover stories of the tragic more so than anything. If you only knew about the things going on in your own town, you might not think like that. You might think, hey this is a pretty cool world we live in.

I think you forgot the good, positive and happy things.
Love
people who matter and care
A home
food to eat
sunrise and sunset... very beautiful!
a hug... even from a family member
So much more!!

Get out there and make a change in ways you can...
offer to buy a coffee for someone, pay a grocery bill for another, offer a hug to someone who might need it, take a really good look at the good and share those findings with others, smile at people you pass, do one positive thing each day for someone else... even if it's just a smile.

Good news network.
Check that out!

I lean towards number one, but my % would be different. In my personal realm things are improving a great deal and I am grateful for it.:)

I'm inclined to agree and I'm actually a positive person lol. There's a lot of deeply unfair things in life...that's why you have to make the most of the good and take what positives you can. Also, don't let anyone else bring you down.

Yes. It's shit.

Life always has shit times but it also has beautiful times. Yes some people get more than their fair share of shit and others more beauty. But I feel that overall life is good so #2 for me.

You didn't hear the good news?

There's a lot of good news too.
I'm not suggesting to ignore bad news.
Just don't ignore good news either.

Life will always be shit for those who do nothing to make the changes they need to make it better
I think tge poster is talking about loss and tragedy. Like my son died 6 years ago. Like that. @Jenny1234

@Spoiledbrat I'm sorry for your loss.

Life is too good, that is why we have so much free time and idle time, you know what they say, An idle mind is the devil's playground
MrAboo · 36-40, M
Good times bad times all seem to come at an even 50-50 in life from what I’ve experienced.
That's life unfortunately. We enjoy life while we can and hopefully that's a long time.
