“Sensitive people who were used to a rich intellectual life may have suffered much pain, but the damage to their inner selves was less. They were able to retreat from their terrible surroundings to a life of inner riches and spiritual freedom. Only in this way can one explain the paradox that some prisoners of a less hardy make-up often seemed to survive camp life better than did those of a robust nature.”

“To suffer unnecessarily is masochistic, rather than heroic”
As an argument for why sitting in ur suffering will give you depression and what Franklin calls the “existential vacuum” (a loss of a will/meaning to live), and instead you should see enduring suffering in and of itself as an accomplishment.

“There was plenty of suffering for us to get through. Therefore, it was necessary to face up to the full amount of suffering, trying to keep moments of weakness and furtive tears to a minimum. But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer. Only very few realized that.”
