I think we have to look at it in Adam and Eve's perspective. They weren't put on Earth to learn or accomplish anything. Their purpose was to worship God and God in return gave them that life. It's a situation that can't be correlated with the world we live in now. I guess you're imagining people who were born with silver spoons in their mouths but that wasn't he case for Adam and Eve. We are taught to learn through difficulties because we have them in our world so it's better for us to know how to combat them instead of letting them break us. Hardships didn't exist in The Garden. It wasn't until they were kicked out. The punishment, I guess, is a reminder of their defiance of God.

yea i agree that we learn lessons or some thoughts after going through hard ways but sometimes i do think that we need easy ways even though it might be bad to do. not like extreme things like committing crimes but like you know just easy things. learning lesson through hard ways is important too so

Yes i totally agree that through hard work, you learn something from it. because i had many experience that shape my life. and shortcuts are not the best way of doing things or getting things done.

it is our isnctint to find the easy way out in our life, but i also think that experiencing the long way and going through hard ways also help you alot. like the saying that we learn from our mistakes, i strongly agree on this. The easy way out should be tought of later on

I agree with you how sometimes it helps us to go to the harder way. It gives us more lessons and we learn what NOT to do in the future. If we go to the easy way, however, we might be arrogant or not cautious enough to prevent what will happen in the future. But if we take the harder way, we will be more ,, I don't know, "immune" to the future obstacles that it wouldn't be that hard to overcome them. However, like Cesar said, the situations differ. Maybe it's SMARTER to just take the easy way; sometimes, the hard way just gives you more work and hardships.

Getting something you want in an easy way will be comfortable and peaceful. However, I believe that by attaining something that easily, you would not be able to learn much lesson from it. You may become greedy or may feel that you can easily get anything you want. Getting it the hard way would make you think that not everything is as easy as it may seem.

According to my personal experiences learning from the "hardway" is filled with 50% of wow im learning a lot and the other 50% of "oh my gosh why did i do this." Obviously learning from the hardway is going to be filled with regret, lots of it... So guess this in some certain extent has double sides to eat: the advantages along with its regrets.

If i was going through the hardest time of my life and there was 2 ways to solve it, why not taking a easy was out. Like everyone else said, short cut isn't necessarily the right way to solve things and most of the time, we get into a worst situation. However, taking a short cut is not something we can avoid in our life.
