i'm not sure what to make of the response ratio. i definitely find life difficult. for the "no" responses, i wish i could ask a follow up to distinguish those who are being stoic vs those who actually have it easy.
your attitude of "An easy life would be dull" is very productive and has probably been strongly selected for. at the same time, i'd like to point out that evolution does not select for happiness. i wonder how much you really appreciate those difficulties while you're dealing with them, vs. reflecting on them. i think we should be weary of struggling for the sake of surviving.
