Well, that's because it is.  In the grand scheme of things, our suffering can't compare to what Christ suffered, and He shouldered all of our burdens and sins.  There's more trite cliches for you!!!! You know, though, the cliches are often the Truth.

Please don't get the wrong idea, I am not one to go around constantly whining about my sucky life. In fact, the forum, and 2 close friends, are it. I don't discuss it at work or at church.
I was thinking more about what you said and how I responded. The truth is, when I truly believe something to be God's will, i.e. he tells me to do something, I do it, because I believe that he knows best. So I guess it would be fair to say that I trust his knoweldge or sovereignty. However, when it comes down to it...well....you know how you can love someone, but not like them?

If they had a *chuckle* emoticon, I would add it here.
