The Hidden Truth About Why Life Feels So Hard

Life is supposed to be hard. Let's start by acknowledging this fundamental truth. The frustration, stress, and depression you feel while living are all normal responses.

Being born, aging, getting sick, and dying. Parting with people you love. Being forced to stay with people you dislike. Not getting what you want. Having both your body and mind constantly ache... All of this is life's default setting. You're not the only one struggling.

The cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death is unavoidable. We lose the people we care about, endure the company of those we'd rather avoid, fail to obtain what we desire, and live with physical and emotional pain as constant companions. This isn't a bug in the system – it's a feature. This is simply how life works, and recognizing this isn't pessimistic; it's realistic.

Your daily struggles aren't a sign that something is wrong with you or that you're failing at life. They're evidence that you're human, experiencing the universal condition that connects every person who has ever lived. The sooner we accept this reality, the sooner we can stop fighting against the nature of existence itself and start finding real solutions.
