“Lying on the couch and leafing through a stack of magazines is undoubtedly comfortable, but it is not meaningful, and so, by definition, it offers no lasting pleasure.

“It is essential to understand that pain does not make a person unhappy—suffering does. A life of comfort and ease is maddening. Meaning fills our lives with pleasure and douses the flames of suffering. Struggles and setbacks are a part of life, but without perspective, they become our lives.”
