Does it get any better overtime?

Lately, life has been lifeing if you know what l mean. A friend of mine asked his dad, "Does life get better as a man?" and his dad straight up told him, "No, it doesn't, son. Just keep your head up and keep grinding." When my friend told me that story, I was like, "Damn, that's tough." So let me ask you guys does it get any better overtime?
