Seriously, why is there so much evil and hardships in the world?

Question

Everytime I have new problems, and i know they are NOT huge but I can't manage them. Things in this world are so hard and grim, and of course there is also the happiness and light at the end of the tunnel. I just want to know why there is so much shi*t around.

Answer 1

There is equally many good things happening if not more, but it seems that it's human nature to almost always count the bad things and not the good things. You need to change your focus and look at the world differently, it's not as bad as it seems.

Answer 2

Your question is a valid one. I think that this question deserves an answer, but please bear in mind that the truth is sometimes obscure. Answering this question requires sober reflection upon reality. We have to see things for what they really are, rather than the way that we would prefer them to be.

You bring up a good point, in that your challenges are not enormous. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, that they aren't. But you know what, the fact that your problems are not world-changing does not mean that they are easy to overcome- nor does it mean that your pain is of no consequence. Say for example, you are in the hospital with a sprained ankle. Maybe the person in the room next to you had something terrible happen, like they were burned in a fire. That is sad that this evil happened to that person- but the fact that his or her condition is technically worse than your own does not mean that your own suffering should be dismissed as being insignificant. It matters to YOU that your ankle is hurt, that is for certain. If your family loves you, and I am sure that they do, then it matters to them, too. It is tragic that some people have awful things occur to them, but it doesn't mean that our problems are any less legitimate than are theirs. Does this make sense?

In our society, we have a few bad habits that would be quite simple to alter. Ever notice what the last piece of bread in the loaf is called? It's called "the end." But it isn't the end, it's just the beginning, if you look at things from another point of view. Or think about a "dead end street." It should be a "Life end.' Now maybe my argument is a little silly, but the point I am trying to illustrate is that we tend to look at things negatively, when there is no need to do so. It also has to do with Neurolinguistic programming. Our entire world can change by just changing a few words. Amazing. The reason for this is because perception is reality- well, it's as close to reality as one can hope to achieve.

Instead of looking at your problems as 'problems', think of them as 'challenges', or better still, 'opportunities.' Just thinking and speaking in a more positive light will help create positive change in your life. I know you may be skeptical, because I would be, as well. The truth is that positive thinking cannot change your life dramatically. But it can empower you to make success happen, rather than defeat. Life demands that not only do we think positively, but we must ACT positively and apply action to our words, as well.

Sometimes life does suck. It just does. Life is not fair, and it never will be. Life is not easy, and it never will be. Life is too involved. I think that happiness is somewhat of an unrealistic goal- I would rather encourage people to strive for contentment. Times of joy last for a while, then they will fade. Same for times of strife- they will last for a time, but eventually, things will change for the better. Having faith in God is very very conducive to living a better existence.

I don't know why it is that life is so hard and full of heartache. But even though that fact can't be denied, I believe life is good. Life is hard, but life is good overall. I am glad to be alive, and I am thankful that I have my eyesight, an intelligent brain, and a family who loves me very much. Also, I have a personal relationship with my Lord Jesus. He also instills joyful feelings into my heart. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, I just feel joy and cheer in my heart- and I believe it is God smiling down upon me.

Keep your head up, my dear friend. You will be all right. Right now is a season of pain, but you will be happy again someday in the near future. Embrace the day. Cherish life. This is a gift from God. There is always hope. Seize the day, and the night!

Answer 3

Because there are so many negative people in the world with no faith, no respect for others and greedy. You should change your attitude about the world, because there are so many beautiful things in the world. Change the way you think about yourself also, think great, beauty, alive, love, and you will see in time that your world will be prosperous. No doubt.

Answer 4

i think its due to the break down of the family ,due to many factors,moms working ,dads being gone,poverty,drugs ,booze, the family structure used to be dad worked ,mom stayed home and raised the kids with there family morals,and values,made sure everything was taken care of,and everything was local ,the store etc so everyone knew each other,so we all know we don't do as much dirty to our friends,and people have lost god.but bear in mind this is my opinion and it derives from what i see,the church home is a muc friendlier and more caring.moms working don't have as much time for kids ,or husband so then comes divorce and the kids in trouble ,pretty black and white i think...and we all don't need bigger better more ,if we looked at how much it costs for mom to work it wold be much better for them to stay home,usually..

Answer 5

because **** decomposes and feeds the plant life. You seem to think that the crappy things in life simply stop doing anything useful once they are realized to be crappy, but their effects continue. Because of abuse, laws are implemented to prevent them, because of disease and health problems, doctors have emerged to help people. It's only "crap" during a discreet moment in time, and a horrible moments can carry momentum and their ripple effects (think butterfly effect) can bestow great boons on down the line.

You just need to change your perspective if you don't like the scenery. Good luck!

Answer 6

Greed is a big reason. It is a deep root which many terrible weeds do grow from. Try to surrond yourself with good and shun the bad.

Good luck

Answer 7

It's simply how life is, it's a struggle. All life is constantly trying to consume some other life. And accidents happen.

Answer 8

I think harships make you a stronger person emotionally and physically..intellectually. You should appreciate them more....and I know it's hard to do so...

Answer 9

Life can get pretty bit chy sometimes but its just life...it would be better sometimes

Answer 10

Asking 'why' is a collossal waste of time. There is no reason, nor is there a reasoner. Life is what it is. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes its tough. Asking why will get you nowhere.
