Being forcibly squeezed out of a vagina? I could probably think of at least 10 more pleasant ways. It's easy to say that if I'm unhappy with life it's because of me, but last I checked, I'm not the one causing cancer, and neither am I responsible for all the pain and suffering in the world. All of that was here long before I even came. Is that the best they could come up with for someone to enter life? Being forcibly squeezed out of a vagina?

And people don't expect the universe to be imperfect, they just acknowledge that as it stands, the universe isn't perfect. And do you even try help to improve the world? Do you volunteer at a soup kitchen, or do work for charities? What's that? You just sit on your computer and complain about life in a way akin to that of a 13 year old trying to be deep? If you're unhappy with life, it's because of you. Seek help, or don't complain.

One of the reasons why it remains imperfect is because people expect it to be imperfect, like that is normal. Well, it's not. Why should babies experience shock when they are born? Couldn't it be a more pleasant experience? Why not laugh into the world? I do, in fact, expect the universe to be perfect.

For us Westerners, life isn't full of pain as full of opportunities. Babies don't cry out of pain, they cry out of shock. It's like getting tears in your eyes after a rollercoaster ride. Life may not be "beautiful", but it sure as hell isn't as depressing as you portray it here. Since when is the fact that life has problems a reason to feel down? Do you really expect the universe to be perfect? Dude, you’re white, educated, live in the richest country in the world and have enough $$ for Internet access.

I believe that is because the truth is negative. I would say to your comment “Just look at the way it always ends. Is there anything beautiful about that?” - I hope (because we do not know what is after material life) that it will be beautiful.
