Why suffer?
To learn obedience. On Netflix this week, I've been watching "Surviving the Cut" - a show about the various rigors of training for specialized military tactical squads. Every single program begins by breaking down the soldiers physically and mentally. And every program produces a more refined, highly skilled soldier at the end. The learn through suffering.
Sometimes, they don't even know why or what they are doing drills for - the drills themselves mean nothing. They are only there to produce suffering, and thereby learning.
