Why is life hard?

This time in my life a lot of people seem to be have problems with “life”. Saying why is life so hard and why is this happening. Life was going so good for me and now I am down in the dumps with the crap that life has given me.Life is good in so many aspects. But isn’t the bad parts of life just as good as the good parts. We learn how to get through the bad parts and how to over come the bad parts. And then when the bad parts are done we say “wow I made it. and I am alive and I am stronger because of it.” so in a sense isn’t that a good thing about life? That we as human beings are able to overcome the crap that life throws us? I mean I have overcome some very low points of my life, and I think to myself sometimes how I am a better person because of it. I learned because of the hard time that I had to go through. And now that, and if it ever happened again (pray that it doesn’t) I will know what to do. And how I can bring myself out of it. But why I ask? Why did I go through this? And why did it happen to me. I am a good person. Not that this was a bad thing, but I am a good person. I live by the “rules” of life. Why did this happen? Why cant my question of why which is so simple be answered. Going through the readings that I have done. There are a lot of questions that aren’t answered. So with the question of why leads the answer of we may never know. And that is that. The end. Point blank. When I ask my friend why isn’t life fair, she chimes in “Lauren a fair is what you take your cows and pig to. This is not a fair this it life.” so life is not fair, but its life. And we as humans have to move on and go on living it. the people in the bible didn’t  have an easy life, so why should I lead an easier life than they did? Why?
