Unfortunately, not everything in life can be flowers and butterflies. And while the less positive things are not something one typically enjoys, they tend to make people appreciate all that’s nice just a little bit more.
Some rather bitter aspects of life were recently discussed by members of the ‘Ask’ community, after one user asked them what are some of the saddest truths about life. Fellow netizens got heartbreakingly honest, covering everything from the downsides of being a good person to time relentlessly passing us by, and beyond. Scroll down to find their answers on the list below and see for yourself what gloomy things tend to balance out the positive in life.

We rarely are aware of our “last” moments, so don’t cherish them until they are a fading memory. The last time your dad hugged you back. The last passionate kiss from somebody you love. The last time you ran as fast as you could. The last time you were proud of yourself for accomplishing something. etc.

“People don’t get what they deserve, they get what they get” – Greg House
Some people are awful humans their entire lives and never suffer a single consequence for it, while others do everything they can to be genuinely good people and get s**t on their entire lives.

You are mostly destined for what situation you arrive into. If your Dad has a commercial real estate business when your born. Chances are, more likely than not you will be a commercial real estate owner and be filthy rich and there’s nothing you did great or wonderful to put yourself in that position besides being born into that family and then basically not becoming a d**g addict and ruining your opportunity.
Most of us aren’t born into money and that’s why most people don’t have a lot. It’s pretty straight forward. There are outliers and success stories of paupers to princes but the fact is- that’s not very likely. I’m sorry. It doesn’t mean you won’t have a good life, but if you get too fixated on the American dream you will always come up short.
The American Dream is no longer for any American- it is for the top 10%.

It does and will happen. Listen to your “olders” we have been there done that.
