Friedrich Nietzsche

why is life so painful?

Why is life so painful? Well, it is my belief that life is painful because we make it that way. We are so obsessed with our own sense of self-importance, with constantly trying to prove our worthiness, that we forget to enjoy the simple things in life. We are so desperate to be loved, accepted and admired that we often forget to be kind to ourselves and to others. We want to be the best and to be successful, but in our pursuit of perfection, we forget to be content with who we are. We are so consumed with our own desires and ambitions that we forget to appreciate the little things that make life worth living. We are so driven by our own expectations that we forget to find joy in the journey. So, why is life so painful? I believe it is because we make it that way.
