I do not believe that life is either kind, or not kind. It just is. Life is more or less what we choose to make of it.

I think the benevolence of life is determined by the circumstances which a person is born into. However, I believe that a persons life is determined to a large extent by their thoughts and decisions.

Life is not benevolent in my opinion. I believe is a matter of what you give in is actually what you get. Although, a little bit of luck plays out alongside this factor.

For me, life is not kind. Life is a challenge, where you will face many obstacles you need to surpass in order to attain your goals. It is not kind to us, but we must be kind towards it. Because life is a gift, and a gift is full of surprises. We never know what is inside it, and we must be appreciative whatever it must be.

I'll say that life is fair. There are both negative and positive aspects and dare I say that an individual would experience both.

Yes it is. It allows us to experience good and bad and let learn from it. Life is so much giving and no matter hoe hard is his tasks to us, life does not allow us to stumble. Life helps us to fight and be more stronger everyday.

Life does its thing, we are just victims or benefactors of the turns of its tides.

In my opinion, life is not benevolent. However, as humans, we endeavour to cause so many positivities out of the daily negative events life offers.

Life gives us what we are willing and daring enough to ask for. So, yes, I'll say life is kind to the demographic working the hardest and the smartest.

It is true that some aspects of life are unfortunate or just pure luck. But I believe that the energy and positivity you share comes back to you in the form of your changed attitude towards your experiences or simply as kindness from other people. What I noticed is that people are a lot of the time unnecessarily suspicious of others, but in reality, most of them don't want to hurt us. People usually hurt others when they themselves are hurt, and they are blinded by their rage or pity to notice their wrong-doings.
So to answer your question, life is benevolent, if we have the courage to see it as such.

I belive that it all depends upon our environment- both external and internal. I suppose that our short-term mood has a tendency to change the long term perspectives that we carry within ourselves!

Is life kind? Personally I believe life is kind during both good and bad times. This is because I enjoy the popular saying "Every cloud has a silver lining." However, some individual refuse to look at the positive aspect of every situation they find themselves in and end up believing life is not kind to them. Everyone gets different opportunities. All that matters is if you can recognise it.

There is no correct answer to such questions, but there are different points of view. Everyone sees life through their own eyes. Some see one thing, others another, and others a third. But after all, what is life really about? It depends more on how you live it than how you see it.

I can't really say life is kind. But I can say that life is balanced. The way life is fashioned, it is a mixture of the scorching sun and calming rain. Life hasn't been so nice to all of us. But most of it has been quite lovely.

Maybe not all the time. Sometimes life is so cruel that no matter how hard we try, we still can’t make it. No matter how struggling the situation is, it will still continue to punish. Hence, life is not always kind to me.
