it is because we are human sugar...and it is a sign of the times. Life now, for you folks at your ages, is way harder than it was for me at the same age, and it was way harder for me, than it was my mother at that same age.
Simply put, life is full of hills and bumps and holes in the road....sometimes, it feels like the more you try, the farther behind you get. The only thing we can do is take what comes each day, just one day at a time and remind ourselves to, instead of brooding on the bad, learn from the bad, and find, notice, and be grateful for the good that we have.
What is it? Count your blessings...
I for one am blessed with children I love, grandchildren I adore, a man I can trust (even if he plucks me from time to time) and a guild that is made up of people I am slowly getting to know and the more I know of them, the more I truly enjoy them.
Tell me everyone...What are good things have you in your lives, that make you happy? I dare each and every one of you to list at least as many things as I have. I promise you, if you look for the good and the happy...the background crap life hands us does not seem as bad as it COULD be.
