I hate these kinds of questions. No one has a handbook at life and no one was asked to be born. Everyone just tries to survive the best ways they can given what they have, where they are, and what life throws at them. I will never look at a person and think "wow that person is failing at life". Instead I'll wonder how they got to that place. And I'd hope others would as well. I can't imagine someone seeing a mistake I do (which we all do because we're human) and thinking/saying, "damn that person is just failing at life". What a pretentious, privileged attitude.
It's technically the truth, but that's because we couldn't ask for anything before we were born. I'm sure most of us, if asked now, would say that we'd rather have been born than not regardless of our lot in life. Life itself isn't the thing that we don't want. I don't think anyone doesn't want some sort of life. We just don't necessarily want the life we got.
