Life is a constant struggle and was for basically all of our ancestors.

If you think life is only happy and free of inner conflict then that’s only because the drugs.

Why don’t you go chop off one of your arms. Since life is a constant struggle, more struggle must be good right? You should definitely make your life HARDER.

Not the same and that kind of animosity for the first world problems of not being happy or productive enough to be able to exist in the modern society without the assistance of drugs does not require me to praise the practice.

I’m not suggesting people make it harder on themselves but there were much bigger issues in just the recent past and coming in the future to not add more to that. But there are people struggling with removed limbs or malformed ones from birth who could use more accomodations, than those who think their life isn’t as easy as someone else’s who has more money than them.

In other words. What a terrible response.

So you believe that people with real diagnosed medical issues should just suck it up because somewhere else in the world people don’t have running water.

What a terrible response.

In my opinion life not being 100% free of inner conflict vs life being full of it are very different things.

The goal being inner peace doesn’t mean that one thinks absolute inner peace is possible. At least I tend to reach a bit higher than what I’m only happy with.
