even people who live a financially secure life can have bad things happen. Illness, accident, bereavement, interactions with bad people, victims of crime, natural disaster could happen, war
Like Pilk said, the middle path is best. It can be a struggle tho to remember that bad times are usually short lived,
But more than that ...
I've read whole books on this, philosophy and psychiatry books. People who live best are those who have stable healthy relationships with friends and family . This helps them cope with adversity and brings extra joy in good times.
