As we look at the world around us, we see people who live successful, famous, happy life while we also see people who live miserable, sad, porr life. Just this week, as I was walking on the street of Manhattan, I saw so many successful businessman & women as well as beggars, homeless people seeking donations.
Nobody wants to be poor, miserable, terrible life. Everybody wants to be successful, famous, happy, and live wonderful life. That is a fact. But then why do some people live the wonderful life while some people keep suffering? Who gets to decide who lives good life and who lives bad life? What if trying hard is not enough to improve life?

people's backgrounds and childhood has alot to do with their attitudes and motivations or lack thereof. Some people have unfortunatley given up on life too and that is sad.

You've got your facts completely wrong. Not everyone wants to be famous, successful, or rich. I certainly don't. I long for the simplicity of the poor. The happiest people I have ever met were poor, and the most miserable, were rich. I'm not saying everyone who are in these walks of life are that way, but that's what I've noticed. There is more to life than making money, and having stuff. when it comes down to it, the most important thing in your life is not what you own or what you have. It's the relationships you have with people and the differences you can make in people's life that is most important. You can't just rely on yourself all the time. Sometimes we need to rely on others. Especially on God. Because everyone suffers. It's a part of life. Because there is evil in the world. If evil wasn't there, there would be no suffering, no hurt, no sadness. But we also need others to rely on us as well. if we never have anyone rely on us, then we'd have a hard time letting ourselves rely on others for help when we need it.

Sometimes you need to have a little faith, and also find a balance in ones life.
Wealth isn't necessarily happiness, there are wealthy people who lead very miserable lives. There are some people who don't have a whole lot to lose, but give freely with compassion and kindness.
God gave us choices, to chose to live well or poorly is our own choice, the quality of a persons life can only be determined by each individual.
Some people are miserable because of desire and lust for something far beyond their reach or within reason. Chose poorly and what ever befalls that choice is thier own responsibility to learn a better way and keep pursuing the objective or give up trying.
Sometimes it is better to find a better way, even though it may take longer or there may be difficulties in getting where you want to go, but taking more care in making the choices more wisely.
Fighting the good fight, as the old metaphore goes. Isn't as much as getting from here to there, but living good along the way. It doesn't have to be perfect, because there are moments that may seem like it is fine just the way it is, along the way.

No one can know the mind of God, or why He decrees that some people live meager lives. But whatever the reason, it is His will, and He has a reason why He does everything. If you talk to some of the beggers and homeless, they seem to be pefectly content and at peace with their life's situation.They continue to live one day at a time, with an enduring faith, and hoipe that thjings will be better tomorrow.

Well...for many homeless people, is a result of alcholism, debt, bank-rupt, etc. Yet, I believe that all those poor people will be rewarded greatly one day, while the rich will have to pay later> Being rich isn't a bad thing, the problem is that some rich people become obsessed w/ money and pleasure and forget God and helping others.

What fun would this world be if we were all the same.
If we were all the same....
True love would not exist because it wouldn't matter who you were with.
There would only be one kind of car because we would all like the same one.
There wouldn't be as much to see because everything would look the same.
Cities would all look the same because we would want the same buildings on every block.
There would be no religion so that means there would be no wars.(and yes folks more people have died because of religion than from everything else combined.)(psi understand that some people need it to get fulfillment from their lives so don't jump on me for that statement)
There would be only one language so the beauty in languages would not exist.
There really would be nothing to this world if we were all the same.

I believe most people live their lives the way they do because of the choices they've made along the way. Life's not always fair but we do have more controll over its outcome than we think.

Can you just think what life would be like if we were all the same. Maybe God gives us what we have because he knows what we can handel. But we can turn our life around (for good or bad.)
