Suffering is a part of human life and gives meaning to our lives from birth to death. When things are easily obtained, they lose some of their value. Effort, struggle, and overcoming obstacles are what make achievements meaningful. Without challenges, life can become monotonous and directionless. Not to mention that we often need to suffer, to feel sadness, to achieve happiness. I know this may sound a bit pessimistic, but it isn’t at all.
You can’t be constantly happy about something; there will always come a point where you’ll simply become apathetic.
Humans need to find meaning in their lives, and sometimes that meaning comes from overcoming challenges, and that often leads to suffering. If there aren’t obvious challenges, they can create them or magnify small problems to feel like they’re fighting for something. This explains why someone with everything materially taken care of may suffer from loneliness, a lack of authentic connection, or a feeling of emptiness.
