Life

Almost everyone agrees that life is difficult. I don't. M. Scott Peck does. My question is, when we say life is difficult, what are we comparing it to? Other people's lives? Certainly sometimes we do, but that doesn't get us very far in life, and then we read the story of Job and stop feeling sorry for ourselves. Our childhood? I wouldn't think so because almost everybody would prefer to be where they are at now in life than where they were as a child. Perhaps life is more difficult now than a child but we must enjoy it more, because we'd rather be here than there. So when we say, "life is difficult" we mean, "life is enjoyable."
