Life is struggle. This has been recognized by philosophers that pre-date Christ. It is recognition of the second law of thermodynamics. The universe in general and your life in specific requires struggle, effort, energy to do anything but coast to a stop and die.
If you stop struggling, everything you've worked for, everything you have built will just drain away, and you'll be left with nothing.
Even if, by the grace of good fortune, you have a pile of resources that requires no effort or struggle to maintain or administrate, it just means that there was earlier struggle. You are coasting down from the top of a taller hill.
Moreover, if you want to improve more than your life, if you want to improve your family, city or country, then that will take fantastic struggle. Not only against the natural forces of empathy, but against the self-absorbed useful idiots, who work against you with every step.
That you blame Christianity for this universal condition says much more about you than it does about the world.
Humans are designed to suffer. Suffering is an intrinsic quality of life. As mortal, finite, imperfect creatures suffering is inevitable
This isn't true at all. I'm atheist and I feel happy and content and at peace. I love life, and I love my life.
It's your religion, Christianity, that brings the idea that life on this earth is a "vale of tears". Your religion defiles and demeans our earthy existence, telling us that we must suffer because of the original sin.
I think I understand you just fine.
If you think you can struggle without suffering, then good for you.
My point stands. You are projecting like a motherfucker.

Of course life is struggle. It's a principle of Nature very well accepted by National Socialism.
But this doesn't mean that you can't find happiness on this earth. Go back reading my previous comment, because you haven't understood it.

There is pain in life, therefore, a judgemental guy is watching you from the sky. Oy veyyy
