Living isn't a simple thing...no one said it's supposed to be.
Life is hard. Not great. Kind of tragic.
It's a hard place this world can be. No wonder a baby cries coming in to it. Tears from the start
The trials of living and the pangs of disease make even the short span of life too long.
We're all human and life is complicated.
No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.
To speak broadly, the troubles of life as we find them are mainly traceable to the heart or the purse.
Let's face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.
