Is life wonderful?

DESPITE its many shortcomings, pitfalls, dangers, flaws, hard times, confusions, line crossings, differences (NOT a bad thing, necessary), assholes, silliness, imperfections, pollutions, disasters, substances, ice, fires, emotions, etc etc etc?

Also, seen the film "Its a Wonderful Life" (1946)? Isn't its title ironic?

What's up with a popular bitter-sweet 1980s pop song "Wonderful Life" by Black (a late singer Colin Vearnecomb, who died in 2016, under the pseudo name I believe), being called "Wonderful Life" but sounding so sad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZoHfJZACA

So is it, overall or in either case?

Life's a Rat Race, and if you are winning the race, then great, but if you're getting left behind, then not so great.

The Dire Straits song The Bug says that basically
Sometimes you're windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes you're a fool in love

In short: No.

For most people, it's only occasionally wonderful, or never is.
