My grammar professor at uni made the best statement to us. She was pointing out to the class that we all CHOSE to take the course. This is what she said:
"My grandmother told me that the only thing you have to do in life is die. If you don't want to eat, you don't have to. If you don't want to breathe, you don't have to. But you do have to die."
I think it has been one of the best things I've ever heard and I repeat it to myself when I'm extremely annoyed with life.
