To some extent life's best lessons are 'learned in the school of adversity'. For those who get on top of their troubles life may 'get better and better even though it gets harder and harder'. Different people react to trouble in different ways. But others aren't. Some, facing trouble, 'die', become immobilized, collapse when someone thwarts their plans or hurts them.
Life is just too hard.
Others explode in frustration or rage, externalizing their feelings towards or against other people - or even physical objects. Others internalize their anger and may become sick or depressed. The most creative response is of course to adapt to inevitable trouble, to use it constructively, to 'tack into the wind'. Perhaps God was in the same 'place' when Jesus asked the same question as he died in agony on a cross. In the ultimate sense, 'yes', I believe, unorthodox as that sounds, simply because God has the power to prevent it.
