Could you please elaborate? Not everyone has a difficult life, just us (un)lucky few. Suffering is the best way to know how not to treat others. I went to a bible study group, and everyone there seemed to come from a comfortable background, at least financially speaking. One guy named Richard and I were talking about how one can really get closer to God and I explained from my experience that suffering seems to pull one closer to what real unconditional love is and ultimately closer to God and Christ. This might not mean anything to you but it's my small point of view.
I would say the point of life is to love and be loved.
Hope that helps a little
