Life fucks you over.......WHY?

Lets think about this. While talking in philosophy class everyone slowly started to come out of their shell. We were discussing the flux of the world and how there is alot of tension.
As the teacher asked us about how we feel about tension and how it applies to us naturally people brought up personal experiances about how hard the world could be, or what they have been through.
Some gangster guy (who was very white ) talked about how humans are naturally agressive which causes tension. He then stated an example about how him and his homies can go to some parties and "Chill" while if he went to cirtain parties up in LA there would be a brawl. Quite funny but anyway, ill take his word for it.
Later on a girl then talked about how she went to iraq and witnessed her buddies head getting shot off and talked about how you just have to deal with it and move on......or whatver else she said.
Then i thought about my own personal struggles in life however i didnt bring them up. I find its actually best to keep your mouth shut for alot of things, and didnt feel like subconciencly boosting my ego.
.................
So shroomery is it safe to say, or would you agree with me that the vast majority deals with tough shit in life, then its up to them to make their way back to "Bliss" or "happiness"
It seems to me that alot of people in this world...may it be the death of a family member, getting robbed, getting shot at, going to war, getting a illness, going through divorce that leaves them working their whole lives. Whatever it may be there is that one thing on this earth you will go through that grants you a special ability.
ex. If you grew up with physical abuse you might have developed a great skill of fighting or natural ego death
ex. If you grew up with being poor you may developed a natural skill to find happiness in very cheap shit.
The list goes on. Not sure of the point of this thread. I tend to ramble about things on my mind. If you did get a specific question or thought from this please feel free to post (on a side note ignore people who have shit handed to them their whole life or live in a semi perfect world. While they do have problems i agree, i caint really think of anything useful parris hilton brings to the table.)

It's all equal in the end and in the beginning. You, me, Paris Hilton. She's no better or worse. Humans like to rate themselves according to their personal programs, higher/lower, good/bad. We all do our best and usually it's not very skillful at getting what we want. But it all evens out at the end.
And I don't think life fucks us over. I think we look at it that way because we can't egotistically handle chaos and death and decay.

it takes a great deal of maturity to realize that we as individuals are the cause of how we feel.

Building and releasing of tension? I thought that was an orgasm! 
Seriously though,it does seem as if the tough times in life are necessary in a way. I have learned more from the rough times that the happy times. Those I kind of just float through. During the bad times is when I am more introspective and trying to figure out what it's all about.
That might in part be because I believe this whole thing is a learning experience. So when times are rough I try to figure out what it is I'm supposed to be learning to help it come to an end faster.

Circumstances only dictate the high and low end potential of your happiness. The middle 80% is up to you.
