Life is.  Sux is your interpretation of a chain of events that just happen.

So?  Everyone has their problems.  Suck it up.

Life is what YOU make of it.

Everyone gets one life, exactly one.  Don't waste it.  

Set some goals and deadlines and make it happen.  What do you want to do, where do you want to be?  Plan, plot, scheme, then act!

Edited to add:  Furthermore, enjoy the suck.  Achieving means little without having triumphed over some obstacle.  The dizzying highs can't be realized without the abysmal lows offering contrast.

Some random blogger articulated it better then I:
Quote
What, you might ask, is the “suck”?  The suck is the hard, it’s the challenging, it’s the part of every dream that forces us to push through our own self-imposed limits and be more than we think we are capable of.

In short, it’s the part of every journey that makes us all slow down for a second and say “this sucks”.

But the “suck” is the most important part of the journey.  The “suck” is what guarantees that when we do acheive our Vision we will be worthy of it and capable of treating it with the respect that it deserves.   It is the furnace in which the sharpest swords are forged, and only the strong survive it.

If you think about it, you will easily see that we’re on to something.  Name one top-teir athlete who doesn’t have a slightly “psychotic” workout routine; or one hugely successful businessman who didn’t “pay their dues” in either the mailroom or through very difficult failures;  or a famous movie director who hasn’t spent hours learning the most mundane parts of editing, lighting, or cinematography.  The journey towards your Perfect Life will take you through places that aren’t always joyful;  but the Get Its of the world learn to extract as much as they possibly can from the difficult times so that their Perfect Life will be that much sweeter.

So when you hit the “suck”, dig in, enjoy it, take a demented pleasure in it.  It will become one of your most valuable memories when you break through and reach your Perfect Life.

I've never known anything except "life sux". 

A few "perfect moments" make life worth living.  They are rare and fleeting, but they're there if you search for them.  That is how it was, how it is, and how it will be.  You do the best with what you have and what you know, you keep moving forward.

What a silly thing to say...Life sux.  There are a few of us here, including myself, that have and are enduring some not so very cheerful things.  I think I could speak for all of us, that life is actually good.

When the phone rings with bad medical news, or other news that tends to grip one by the short hairs, one seems to gain a better appreciation for each day and what it brings.  Life is like a really fine, properly aged and cooked steak....very tasty, but rather limited in duration.  Enjoy each bite.

Life may suck, but it beats the hell out of the alternative.

And even though it does suck from time to time, it is interesting.  Laying around and turning to dust seems boring.

As someone wiser than me once explained things to me, if life did not suck we would all go spinning off into the void of space.

Be glad life sucks.  Knowing just how badly life sucks means you can, all the better, instantly recognize the few random moments when it does not suck, and savor them all the more.

BTW, was there some particular event that brought the revalation that life sucks to your attention at this particular time?  Or was this a generalized "Life sucks" statement?

stay safe.

It took me a few years to figure that out. 

I thought that was Charles R. Swindoll quote. Great quote who every said it.

Quote
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

I would definitely agree that attitude and how you approach things makes a huge difference.  It doesn't mean it doesn't suck sometimes, but there are always things you can enjoy each day. 

I was trying to find the Dead Milkmen song Life is Sh_t, but all I can find are bad live recordings.  Oh well.

Not mine!

Why does it suck?  I'm guessing girl problems.

Just wait... one day you will get married to some nice girl and your girl problems will be over...


Then you'll have wife problems... much worse than girl problems.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Christmas sux.

Doing some early Christmas gift exchange today before travel. I got two vacuums, a shop-vac and a handheld cordless, both of which I need. Therefore, Christmas sux! Maybe I will get some pneumatic tools for my birthday next month, then winter will have gone from suck to blow.  =D


I certainly have been pained by marital problems, I even married the same great lady twice!. Do try to suck it up and move on though. Members of the opposite sex are like taxicabs, another one will be along in a few minutes.  ;)

Is it life itself that sucks, or is it (some) people? More often than not, the disagreeable part is other bipeds, in my experience.
