Life: Good or Bad?

Allow me today some considerations about life. We are used to hearing that Life is a gift and that it is up to us to do what we want with it. I have often wondered how true this is and, if it "is" true, to what extent. Seeing all the unhappiness that surrounds us, and all the problems that we, ourselves, are facing most of the time, it may come natural to deny the goodness of such "gift". The fact that we "can do whatever we want" may be another debatable topic. Can we really? Don't you ever so often find yourself challenged by situations you are totally powerless towards? Don't you every now and then wish to just give in, surrender and give up on all hope? Well, although this is the reality of the human condition (at least for the majority), I still believe that there must be something "good" behind all this turmoil. What is it? It may be the creativity with which we are endowed, that allows us to do something different, to help others, to express our feelings in an artistic way, to provide an example of courage and dignity, to... (add your own).
