Christianity is a life arguably with more trouble - but with an overflowing supply, more life, grace, power, strength, divine comfort, promise, hope, love, eternal life, deepest peace, wisdom and everything you need to overcome this life in fellowship with the Savior, Father and Spirit who has overcome all.
If you want a life without trouble don't come to Christ. you will get by better that way.
If you are looking to get out of this 80 years alive at the end of the age having what really counts in this life, then follow Christ by all means.
But know it will come with trouble but along with Trouble a promise of increasing experience of the abundance of Christ - life, abundance, abounding strength, grace, peace, mighty experiences of Him and you will know Him- the greatest treasure of all, and the only thing which you can take away when this life is done.
Then go all the way and become an over comer in Him. all the way for Jesus.
If it were a life without trouble then what cross do we take up? be courageous for Jesus. The cross is shame, the cross is rejection by the world, the cross is the persecutions that come with the faith. the being labelled a fool. we are fools for Christ that we may in the end be proven right.
That the way and secret of life and satisfaction of live is not the mad worship of ambition and material possessions but in the self sacrificial love.
Remember Jesus who endured, taking up the cross, scorning its shame, what hardships he endured from sinners. He walked this dusty ground which is not our home. lest you become weary.
"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
also because there is an angry devil who hates us and we are born into the world which is nothing less than a war zone between forces of light and dark. those who do evil will always hate those who love right and do right. if they hated Him they will hate us also.
Philippians 1: 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,
Romans 8: 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Philippians 2: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;
v.11 if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.
Remember they hated Him 'without a cause'. so they will hate us who bear His likeness for we are the stench of death unto death to them but life unto life to those who seek righteousness justice and life.
