Does suffering make you stronger?

[Prøphet]

Is there any upside to misery? There must be. I refuse to believe there isn’t some good in the bad.

It breaks you down if anything. I've never suffered a second in my life until 16. It was good

Only if below threshold
Since suffering implies exceeding a threshold, no

I am 24 soon to be 25. If anything take what im about to tell you and run with it. The moments in life where you feel at your lowest or at the bottom, feeling trapped and nothing going your way. They can turn into some of the most life-changing events that shape your life if you allow it to. I look back on my years, all of the times I felt I was out of it, had nothing going for me, stuck in a rat. With the wisdom I have no, I can see how every single L I took in my life shaped me and built me into the man I am today, and I am on a pretty solid career and life trajectory now. Some incel trolls on here might say its cope but its really not. If we didnt go through struggles or hard times in our lives, we would have no perspective on the good times or good things you will come to achieve and accomplish if that makes sense. Life is all about ups and downs genuinally, live isnt fair and it was never made to be. Do the most with what you can. One of my favorite quotes in life "This too shall pass" Cheers old sport!

You mature quicker compared to others that had it easy.

And you are less likely to react incorrectly when you come across problematic phases later in your life
