If we only look at the bright side of life we will always be happy.
Life is not like a box of chocolates where we either have a good one or a bad one or a average one.
Life is like jumping off a cliff except we choose how deep the cliff is.
Life is only worse as much as we let it.
Life is only as much as unfair as we let it.
So, no, life isn't like a box of chocolates, life is like jumping off a cliff.
Oh phooy, to say others cant affect you is bull, if that were the case slavery would not have existed. German Jews of WW2 most certainly were affected beyond their control.
Thee above is an over simplistic view on a very messy species. Long term in our planet's 4 billion year history, our planet, our sun, our solar system does not give a shit about humans, and sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes good things happen to bad people.
Some humans have it better than others, some have it worse, yes, but your post is a very gross oversimplification of our species social interactions long term.
