Pain is a feature, not a bug.
Desire is, almost by definition, pain that comes from lacking something you want.
All living things are motivated by desire or pain.
If there’s neither, that’s stagnation. You become stale and obsolete.
Darwin said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.”
To thrive, we require ongoing change, transformation, evolution. If thriving is an act of motivation and desire, transformation requires pain. It helps to embrace it.
Pain benefits those who can learn.
