I wouldn't consider it a miracle that we are living organisms. The number of planets and moons out there, the miracle would be if there wasn't life somewhere.Peteron said:

There's bacon, exploding mountains and pizza delivery. Are there some suck parts to life? Yes, but some people can't see the view from the bus stop. Everyone's experience is going to be different. And from day to day.
Though it could use more ponies.

Given the choice I'm not sure I'd really bother if I had been given the choice, as it is one day all i can hope is that things improve at least for a while
Overall, I suppose life is what you make it. I wouldn't say I have a particularly great life by any means, but I can pretty clearly track the way things are back to a mixture of situation, which I couldn't really control, and stupid choices, which I certainly could. I won't speak for others but, for me, I can't say life's great but I can say it would definitely be better if I had made smarter choices.
Thank you for posting this. I wish I had seen it sooner. I'm of the attitude that life is pretty crappy. Part of that stems from the absolute certainty that as "good" as I have it now, it will certainly get worse. It can't possibly improve. I describe it to people sometimes and they say "That sounds great, I'd love to live like that," but they really don't understand the feeling of being trapped as a stunted adult child, unable to go anywhere or do anything interesting with his life. Another person might prosper and grow in my position. I however will continue to stagnate in mediocrity and bitterness until my parents die, at which point I will exude even more mediocrity and bitterness as I am unwillingly shoved into a world I spent so long convincing myself I didn't want in order to keep those suicidal thoughts at bay. Sigh. Well....TestECull said:
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, when you grow up, when you grow up!
It's different for each person. I, myself, am very happy. I have everything I need, I have good career prospects, I have a loving family, I live in a stable, peaceful, highly developed and egalitarian nation (Australia). I have never been the victim of any crime, I'm not addicted to any substance, I'm in almost perfect health (I have teeth problems, but they're minor) and I've had a great education. I'm insanely lucky.
However, there are people for whom life has been nothing but misery - just look at the dying kids in Somalia - living in a war torn nation, constantly in danger, no educational prospects outside being brainwashed by militants (not exactly an education), no real career prospects other than joining the militants, no law, no order, and at anytime your family members could be killed. And on top of that, you're starving to death, and your own people are keeping aid away since it comes from "the infidels". They are insanely unlucky.
I love my life. My life is (so far) great. Of course, every life has ups and downs. No matter how happy you currently are, your life is fragile. I could be diagnosed with cancer two months from now. My parents could be killed in a car-crash and there's nothing I could to do stop it. War could suddenly break out.
So while life is inherently uncertain, and while it has good and bad parts, I'm going to focus on the positive things in my life and enjoy them while I can. I know that one day my good fortune will come to an end (nothing lasts forever), but so far I've had 24 years of good fortune, and for that, I think I've had a good life. Whatever happens next could totally suck, but it can't erase the good memories I've accumulated (unless I suffer from a massive stroke which destroys my memory. Which could happen).

life only sucks if you allow it to be.
right now it's pretty crappy for me. I recently broke a chemistry glassware despite my careful handling. Replacing it is quite expensive. and I have Ochem test next monday and a final the next day due to the teacher's shit planning.
find a way to cheer yourself up, accept the loss and move on..
I'm currently cheering myself up with this video (first 4 minute is quite coherent to this topic)
