>Why is it that everyone thinks life is suppose to be hard? I am an atheist and I get so much crap about that too! If you don't fit the "norm" people think there is something wrong with you. If you don't live the "happy" life, something is wrong with you.
I work two jobs. I never miss a day of work. Is that normal? I have been accused of doing to much to avoid my feelings. Maybe I just need the money.
People, especially Americans, think that happiness is a given. It is even in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.
If we don't have it, we think we should get it.I guess what I am trying to say is, some people just aren't happy. Why take drugs or do therapy for something that is out of reach? Maybe we should just accept who and what we are and leave it at that. Who is to say that happiness is normal?

Someone or something must have really hurt you..for you to be so down on life. You sound angry..
> Maybe you feel you deserve better? Everything good is work,even happiness. Maybe you just don't
> know how to go about it. Or you're afraid of the "side effects".
