Why do we make are life so difficult and unhappy?

To be given life is the ultimate gift. When we are first born we have the right to cry or laugh. When we grow up we have the freedom to choose the way we want to be. Humans were born with rights equal to every other living thing but because of our unlimited desire human life is often of less quality than most other animals.





A small bird wakes up early in the morning singing a song waking the other birds, merrily looking for food, spending a short time to get all the bugs and grain she needs to fill her small stomach, then spending the rest of her time playing, singing, and courting. She spends a few days to build her beautiful nest. She doesn?t work too much to get the food she needs everyday. Her life is easy. She has a lot of time to play and enjoy living together with the other birds.





Humans have small stomachs as birds do. Just to have enough to eat we too do not have to work a lot in one day. If we want to build a house, we can build one in a few weeks. We can then have a lot of free-time in our life to play and enjoy life together as well. Now days people choose to work very hard, at least 8 hours per day. They work like machines just to have some food to eat even though the food they eat is not good quality. They eat the old plants and animals that have been dead many months in a can or in frozen packages. They have to live in a crowded house like a termite. If they want their own house they have to spend at least one half of their life or maybe all of their life to work for that house. Life is busy and hectic all the time.





We can see only complications with no space for beauty and freedom. We create suffering for ourselves because we don?t know the purpose of life. We are blinded and our soul turns to darkness. We can?t see beauty. We can?t enjoy living. We have only fear growing in our minds everyday. We begin to distrust other people. We cannot be friends with others around us, even relatives or family members. Our lives are lonely, even though the world is full of people. Even though we have a lot of material goods and wealth we still feel like it?s not enough. Even thought other people give us love, we still don?t trust them. We are even disturbed by the rooster?s morning call and we?re proud to say in the middle of this confusion and suffering that this is development and we are civilized.





Why do humans choose to live their life in a difficult and complicated life like this? What do we receive from our hard work all our life? Why is the simple and peaceful way not attractive to people? Life is easy, why do we make it hard?





If we think we are the most clever animal in the world, why do we make our life full of bitterness and suffering more than any other animal? Why do we have to work harder than other animals? Why do we make our lives so boring? Why don?t we have time for our kids and family or even time for ourselves? These are the instincts of all life. In 24 hours we spend more than 10 hours struggling with what we call work or said nicely, ?making a living?. We spend on average less than 8 hours sleeping and 2.5 hours a day eating, maybe .5-1 hour bathing/dressing. This leaves 3 hours left for ourselves and our family in our day. Mostly we spend this time intoxicating ourselves with entertainment such as drinking, going to parties, shopping, watching movies or watching TV. Even on our day off we love to spend the time on entertainment. We don?t see the importance of spending time with family or ourselves because we think we don?t have time. So we are not different from machines or robots because we have lost our heart and soul.





Our kids are like our pets. We take care of them enough to feed them and keep them safe but we neglect to think about their mind and soul. Kids want to be loved and cared for and to feel close to their parents but we think it?s a burden so we push them away by sending them to pre-school. Then we appease ourselves by telling ourselves we?ve done the best by them by giving them good food and expensive schooling so we can have more time to give to working and we can tell ourselves that we work for our kids. But we don?t know if the kids want what we give them or not. We assume we have given the best to them. If the kids know how to compare, they must be jealous of other animals like ducks seeing their whole family playing and looking for food together. But to be born as a human kid is so lonely. They become orphaned even though they have parents. They spend more time with strangers than their parents.





We are losing our instincts. We are destroying the system of life which our ancestors developed and lived successfully with for many thousands of years. Now we become the only animals that work this hard. Even in the past people didn?t work as hard or long as they do now except slaves and prisoners. What made people see slavery as progress or development? What is the reason people choose to live like this? Life is easy, why do we choose to make it so hard and complicated? What makes us think life has no choice when in fact we have a lot of choice?

Why do we make are life so difficult and unhappy?
I have to agree with you, I don't know why people can't be happy living a simple life instead of wanting more and more. The harder you work and the more money you make does not buy happiness. Most of it goes for taxes anyway. Yes, we do have a choice to live a simple and easy life.
Reply:why live a long happy life? The real life is when it's full of interesting things, but short. That's what we learn at sociology in school.


For example I could have chosen to live in my natal town and have the same job as my mom and grandma had. But I prefer moving to another country to go to college when I finish highschool and become something like a pilot. And risk my life every day and have stress and live with the fact that I can crash anytime (or somethin like that)


That is because I want to evolve and become better that my ascendents. They maybe lived a happy life, but not a better one.people that had an unhappy life made the greatest achievments. like daVinci, Raffael, Einstein, Francisc, Nostradamus and some ppl I don't remember.


If you don't want to make something of your life that live it happily if you want
Reply:because it's sometimes worth all the trouble to have onew happy moment. i mean and people love you and all that s h i t. i mean it's kind of how you put your principles in order. if you are loved i wouldn't die just because life sucks because that will ruin every one else you know's life.


we do enjoy living. that's where you're wrong...well some of the time at least.


there was no system that we lived on and to quote kurt vonnugut "we're a nation addicted to fossil fuels and like any person about to face cold turkey; our leaders are killing to get their hands on the last of it."


we have always screwed everything up and if you're complaining about it now it's too late in the game...we're screwd over. totaly f u c k e d up foreever.


so my advice is live your life and follow the wiccan creed "an ye harm none; do ye will" which means "do whatever the hell you want just if you dont screw up anything too much."
Reply:Speak for yourself, pal. I love my life. It's not hard or complicated.
Reply:Because the opposite is too easy. Dude, are you PMS-ing?
Reply:where is the question its a wonderful answer you have given for ur own question if atall u feel u asked one go thro what u asked ur answer very clearly lies there
Reply:In America, we are on top of the world in terms of what we have. That means that we are in kind of an admistrative role in world society. In this role, we must take on a lot of stress to make sure that we stay on top.
