Suffering, Responsibility and Meaning - Jordan Peterson.
I love this so hecking much!
Struggle makes us stronger.
Conflict is character building.
Sadness is what makes joy special.
If there was no such thing as hate, love would have no power.
Pain is the great teacher.
Nothing of value is gained without sacrifice.
Only from Chaos can order come.
Without such things life would be meaningless and stagnant.
The struggle for existence is the built-in drive for all living creatures. This the flaw in the naked pursuit of happiness, because mere happiness does not satisfy that drive. It is too often temporary and transient. But when you quell that drive by building structures that provide on-going personal betterment and social development, that is where you find meaning that transcends happiness.
