Why some people consider and say that their life is hard,miserable,pain,suffering, and other people consider it to be very fun,interesting,enjoyment,happy experience,living life to the fullest. Isn't life what you make it?So that means those people just make their lifes and view them bad ,while others view them as simple and happy?Do you think those people see life experience as really negative while others people view same experiences and try to view it as positive as possible. What do you think?

well....life is all about living....but there are people who believe in existing...and they are the suckers.....they are the bunch of optimists who sees the thorn rather than the roses.....i guess they are born that way...always comlaining bout their lives....life is a journey....its an experience....to cherish and to nurture....its a blessings....and it is about taking each day as it comes, learning from it and moving on....learning from the past rather than holding on to it....
we always forget to thank for what we have and what we got.......when we all know that we all are heading towards the same fate.....then why not thank for a day that we just lived....hmmmm?????

The human mind is an extraordinary thing. From two lives that seem nearly identical, (Same culture, Same type of neighborhood, Same type of friends, Same type of parents.) Can arise two people of absolute different types.
From a loving family that shows nothing but love, a violent and spiteful person can arise.
By the same token, someone in an abusive family can turn out to be an upstanding and loving person.
Some things like genetic differences can account for a lot. While they may both have two hands and two feet, it only takes a small genetic change in the way the brain develops to make a person violent, loving, schizophrenic, spiteful.
The thing is, people don't really choose how they view life. Though they can "choose" to change how they view it.
I happen to be one of the people who feel lost and often wrestle with feelings and thoughts of "whats the point of life?", "What am I doing here?", "Whats the point of trying?".
However, these are always temporary, though permanently returning.
This seems to me to be a problem equally of brain chemistry and thought processes.
I think that someone who views their life as miserable, pure suffering and other such thought processes has a different state of mind, probably arising from a different chemical balance in their mind.
Of course, the chemical balance does not completely control someone, there is always that ability to act differently than you feel you want to.
Some more evidence for this is depressed peoples higher likely-hood to use drugs. Drugs in general do the same things that most of the chemicals in our brains do. They just do it with out the same constraints the normal chemicals do them.
For example, LSD is similar to serotonin. The main differences arise from it's affinity to bind to the receptors that serotonin does.
LSD in general excites a lot of receptors, that actually become active during REM sleep. Hence the hallucinations.
Sorry, I got a little off topic there.
What I am trying to say is that the brain is the source of our views on life, how we experience the world, and most importantly, how we experience ourselves.
Since everything stems from the brain, a small and seeming insignificant change in the brain can result in vastly different personalities, views on the world, and even experiences from the same external circumstances.
The ultimate point of this I am trying to make is that how someone views the world isn't entirely their fault, but how they react to their view is.

Interesting question. Having been on both sides, I can say that how you view things is related to how you feel. How you feel is related to how you think. If you try to look at nothing but positive and good things, you will feel better about yourself and your surroundings. If all you see is negative stuff, you will be miserable. I came out of nearly 5 years of depression a little over a ago. I learned that how you think has a direct affect on how you feel. Read more here:

I think people suck. You can;t trust anyone these days, and the ones you can stab you in the back eventually. No, I think it's totally the way you're brought up. If it's a happy home, you'll have such a better outlook on everything. If not, you're bound to be miserable.

when we were created we were all wired differently. can you imagine how boring this world would be if we all thought alike?? we would have nothing to talk about. nothing to look forward to bacause we all would be either happy or sad. if we were all happy then there would be nothing to look forward to and if we were all not happy with our lives we would think that there is nothing better because we would have nothing to compare our lives to.
