Friction

Suffering gives one the chance to climb to a higher level.  We need the friction of dissatisfaction to push us on in our development.  I think its a blessing and we know that when we make the grade there will be that day of rest.  For now if we are still un-individualized then we might as well fight and climb the mountain as opposed to staying in the comfort of the womb.  The path will need to be walked eventually.
