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 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 judgemental.. 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.
