The 'good life' according to the world standard is all about wealth, power and getting what you want, when you want it. Living the truly good life means living for God.
Life is not always black and white, and while some choice are right and wrong, many are just better or worse.
Parents who refuse to let their children experience failure or sadness give them a false view of the world and do not prepare them for the harsh realities of adult life.

Some Christians expect that the Lord will be the kind of parent who protects them from all sorrow and disappointment. But our Father in heaven is not like that. He lovingly allows His children to go through suffering as in Isaiah 43:2 and 1 Thessalonians 3:3.
God's goal is to make us holy, not just happy. When we face the truth that life is difficult, we can start investing our lives in the pursuit of a good and godly life instead. The pursuit of holiness occurs daily as we yield ourselves in obedience to the Lord instead of following our old ways of self-gratification.
TO BE RICH IN GOD IS FAR BETTER THAN TO BE RICH IN GOODS
