Life is full of struggle and tragedy but if you aren't living in a morally legitimate fashion the Natural Laws that govern the Universe (God's Law, Karma, whatever you call it) then what was only tragic will be pure hell (figuratively at best, literally is a distinct possibility). Besides if you have never known disappointment, loss, or sorrow you cannot truly appreciate what you have, satisfaction, nor joy. You'd be bored out of your mind by the end of one week if not before if all you had to do was sit on the beach and sip margaritas. Typically you appreciate the things you work for more than the things you dont and if this is no longer true for you it's because you've lost enough that you've learned to appreciate it all

No, I don't. Sometimes you do what you "think" is the right thing but perhaps didn't have all the information and it turns out negative. Sometimes you actually DID do the right thing, and it still doesn't turn out quite right. But you can be sure that if you choose the wrong thing to do, it will not turn out well in the long run. Maybe it will in the short run, but doing the right thing is its own reward.

Now that begs the question - what exactly IS the right thing to do in every circumstance? It's not always black or white, or cut and dry.

Not really. The positive things in my life have by far outnumbered the negative things, and in general the negative things could have been prevented.

Well... Here's the thing
Nice honest people have this thing that they can't say No. That puts them in a situation where they are let down. And expect others to do the same.
Being nice is the best thing, but not at the cost of your mental health

Nope I already don't believe in a heaven so pointing out that things don't really have a grand reason is already standard for me but I still do my best to be a good person as it's what I like being
