According to Buddhist teachings existence is dukkha (unhappiness/unsatisfactoriness/disappointment/unease/suffering) because we crave things we can't acquire or attain, things that don't satisfy us and things we have but will inevitably lose.

A friend of mine once observed that everyone frets because 50% of marriages end in divorce without considering what the other 50% end in.
