trials/tests of life

we all go through them but only the good people in life will make it through them and become a better person

Isn't every thing supposed to have a purpose? shouldn't there be an explanation for all that is done? a meaning behind every word spoken? well what about the trials of life? why must we go through such heart wrenching life crunching, despairing moments? life is not all fun and games, but why? tears and frowns, why do they exist? what is the point behind being miserable? behind suffering and struggles? does every trial get better? turn into a happily ever after? i do not have all the answers, but here is what i do have: trials are meant to better us as a furnace does gold. they are to equip us for what is to come. a lesson to be learned from. yet what about when we fail a test? it seems we must retake it until we pass. then we must practice what we learn. So no, there's not always happily ever after, but then again, perhaps that is a perspective thing.just maybe if we just look at the good in every situation, nothing will test us, nothing will bother us. that would be fantasy though, not really living, for all that live in reality, will be tested we will go through trials so that we may grow. I do not have any other answers though. yet i would assume that if trials are to better us, why would we want them to end? shouldn't we want to continuously seek a more advanced position in life? sure tests are scary but isn't passing such a relief? such a pride? however, if you want to escape, then enter the world of lies. a world of pleasant made-up happiness. just remember fantasy wont allow you to succeed, only the pain of reality will. with that i will stop preaching at myself and say good night friends.
