Michael Blaustein argues that avoiding pain makes you unhappy. Friction and challenges are where the magic happens, constantly creating happiness. Life isn't about dodging suffering but embracing it.
Wouldn't it be great if it did? I replied. Lucy and I both felt that life wasn't about avoiding suffering. Oof. I mean, if that's not a key to life, I don't know what is. It's crazy. It's wild. I mean, if you extrapolate that, it's like to avoid suffering, that's why there are a certain sect of people that are so unhappy, right? Because it's like we're just avoiding pain.
That's all we do. Yeah, but sometimes the pain is where the magic is.
It's not even sometimes. I think all of the time friction creates happiness.
