Hi dreamer,
I think it depends on whether we are towards or against life. It's up to us. It's in our attitude towards life. Even things that happen in life that could be considered "unfortunate" can be used to learn n grow if we are towards life. Everything can be an opportunity to grow. In that sense, life is towards us....but again, it's in our attitude. Life is the ultimate teacher but only for those who are for life.

Towards us or against us? Hmmm, not sure exactly what you mean. If you mean for us or against us, here is my answer....
I think things work out for us. So yes, life works out in the long run for people. sometimes things do not work out, but overall, life is good.
But then I'm biased, I've had good innings so far, despite some bad patches.
Life is towards us, to use your terminology.
Life is a result of decisions made on a daily basis, by you or other people.
Overall, most people make the right decidions, so life is towards us then.
It's only when the wrong decisions are made then life can be against us.
It's up to you. In a way,
life = consequences of decisions made.

Life is neither for you nor against you. Life couldn't give a whit about you who, like the rest of us, are less than a speck in its infinities. You are on your own, my friend. All life really "cares" about is continuing. The plant, its roots, its stems, its leaves, its flowers are just the means for life to produce more seeds and start the process over again. Now make a happy day for yourself....or not.

I truly believe it is a matter of your attitude regarding your circumstances. Your way of thinking about what is happening in your life. Many times, when we think we want one thing and cannot have it, it feels as though life is against us, when in reality, it is our way of thinking about the thing that is causing the pain. For example, I have lived in Hawaii, and to me, it is not all it is cracked up to be. :)
Sometimes, when you feel you are in a tunnel and cannot see the way out, you stop where you are locked in your pain and fear, or go back to a bad or unpleasant situation. When perhaps what you should do, is go forward, as the light is just around the corner. The happiest people do not have the most, they are just happy with what they have and go forward.

i guess if you have always had everything handed to you and nothing goes on, then life is towards you. but then again, that usually doesnt happen unless you're like royalty or something. but since not all of us are, life is against us.

Life is indifferent.It is neither for us or against us.Life just is.
When we die(and each of us will,someday) life still goes on without us.That's why we must make the best of every moment we have,for this moment will will never come again.

It depends on our choices and opportunities. If you are born in Hawaii, life is automatically more 'toward' you; if in Chicago, automatically more 'against' you.
I have faced that 'hawk'--the Chicago wind in winter--and thought the entire earth was enveloped in a conspiracy of hate against my very existence!

if you think about your current situation and problems... and weigh them against other people's, you'll be glad that life is definitely towards you.

It's a matter of perspective, I guess it depends if you're going with the tide or fighting against it.
