Things could be worse

As bad as it may be, it could always be worse. However, just because we are good people who work hard doesn't necessarily mean that things are going to be "a gravy truck with biscuit wheels." The Good Lord Jesus Christ himself perished (one could argue it was almost suicidal) due to his suffering in this world brought on by the numerous beatings and physical abuse, not because of a prolonged coughing fit as some modern scholars have conjectured.
