I just keep thinking about how we are born into circumstances that we do not always find favorable. Like if I was going to create the world there wouldn't be winter, war, or porkchops.

No because as you said "you did not choose to be born, however you do choose how you shall live.

You were born for a reason, what it is I am not sure, but would you really want to live in a world without winter, war, or porkchops?
If every day was happiness and sunshine, I am rather certain that you would find a way to determine what days are good and what days are bad. The bad things in life are simply there so we know what the happy things are, and even that is all up to our point of view. Think happy thoughts.
Perhaps life is more of a punishment than it is a gifts, but the question is: What is the benifite of being mad at God over life? will it make you happy? it will probably just make you more unhappy, so forget about the whole thing and watch the sunrise, stars, or some nice happy clouds.
Life can be fun.

There is no god (sorry to burst your bubble) and therefore you had no choice, you happened to be born human and into a messed up world. But guess what? Same with everyone else, so just accept yourself and do your part to make the world better.
I'm with you on getting rid of war, but I happen to like winter and porkchops, but you don't have to eat porkchops and you could move to someplace more tropical if you'd like.

Your question is interesting to me. How do you know that you did not ask to be born? How do you know that God made the ultimate decision in your choice in this life.
Make your own happiness in life. Why waste time and energy being angry about something that cannot be changed. You were born. That is all there is to it. You are here and you are alive and somewhere, someone is thrilled that you are here on this earth, now...
So, yes...I believe that it is not only wrong for you to be mad a God for your birth, but also a bit selfish to even consider the anger.

maybe you were asked and said yes, then god made you forget the whole thing. however, don't blame god for things such as winter, war, and porkchops. you can avoid winter by living in a warm climate, war was created by men not god, and you dont have to eat porkchops. everyone is put into circumstances they dont like, its those of us who dont whine about it that are successful in life.

I can see you being mad at something you have control over and then change it. Don't eat porkchops, moved to a warmer climate and as far as war goes There always have been wars. be nice to your friends and neighbors. Do your share, you'll feel less mad.

Don't be mad with God, try to understand that no matter what position you are in he put you in it for a reason. The reason may not always be too clear and it can be difficult to understand but sometime in the future you will look back to this difficult time and thibnk of all the wonderful things that happened and that you learnt which would not have happened if you were not in this position.

Your birth like everyone else’s was an act of random chance. To say that you are angry at God because you didn't ask to be born is the same as saying that you are angry at the lottery because you did win, didn't win or had your winnings stolen or taken by taxes. All of these things are out of the lotteries control, as is your birth out of God's control (not to say that it couldn't have been controlled, just that it isn't).
Instead of feeling angry, depressed, or any other negative emotion at as easy target as God, try instead to find the cause of your suffering and treat it. It is not as easy as blaming God I know (I had 18 months of suicidal depression) but it is the only way to move ahead. Hope this helps.

This depends on your point of view. I believe that my soul made a contract prior to entering this life. Yes, sometimes each life we live is not favorable. The point is to learn from our experiences and evolve to a new level. Our soul doesn't "feel" things the way our human body does. The choices it makes are on a completely different emotional/mental/spiritual level than we currently exist in.

Your God is your own, you are really free to be towards your God just exactly as you wish, provided
(i) you allow all others similar freedom
and
(ii) be responsible for your own attitude towards your God.
As simple as that. However, wishing God had done this or that rather than the other is a waste of time and unnecessary.... instead one can concentrate on plan and work to achieve the desirable if feasible.
