Another way of saying it, is what good is life if you can't get the things you want?
"Let us not be caught up in the turmoil of this age,
but hold fast in our faith. God is with us, but we must
strive to do the best we know how, and be glad in
the things we have, that many have not. With a calmness
of our inner self, we learn to cope with the things we
can't change. You are loved, so let us be love."

It is not about getting everything I want, I didn't ask to be rich, beautiful, to win the lottery or famous. I just want to be able to pay my bills on time without having to beg someone to help (even though I have a full-time job). I want to be able to buy food for my kids, clothes, things they need. I just want my son to have some self-confidence in himself, I just want to be happy like everyone else. I want my mom to be healthy. Why can't I pray to God and get an answered prayer without people acting like I am a bad person. I just want the simple things in life like most people do.

Well, that's what I meant. Like, the statement I made compared to your statement are made for the same reason, but in my case, I want what I want specifically—less dealings with annoying people, less busyness, less bad luck—I was just saying, like you said, what meaning does life have, what good is life if things don't go your way? To me, it's like two ways of saying the same thing. I wasn't being judgmental. But it's true what you say, we post things here, and they give the same knee-jerk reply, suffering is good for you, it makes you a better Christian, etc. So now you have the original problem, plus people telling you, deal with it, it's good for you. I usually give them a reply like, "If a Christian slips on a bar of soap in the shower, how does that make them a better Christian?" They have no answer, so all they do is quote, parrot-like, suffering gets you closer to God.
