That's a fairly idealistic way of viewing things, though the fact of the matter is that not all of life's lessons are sweet. In fact, quite a lot of them are rather bitter. How about knowing that no matter how hard you work for something there will always be some one who can do it better? Is that not something to lament about?

Even more distressing is that most people can do nothing but accept it as "reality". The episode just leaves it at that, so it doesn't look to optimistic in that respect. But still, life goes on, and we continue to exist.
