These often cause unrest, to where the easiest thing to do is to give up. Will giving up so quickly meet our needs over time? Will it make our problems go away? The best thing to do is despite any adversity life gives, is to go through what could stop us from doing something so simple as fighting through our problems? Unforgiveness from past hurts, resentments, selfishness, addictions?
