Happiness Comes From Solving Problems

A society that coddles itself more and more from the inevitable discomforts of life, we lose the benefits of experiencing healthy doses of pain. Like physical pain, our psychological pain is not necessarily always bad or even undesirable. Just like stubbing our toe teaches us to walk into fewer tables, the emotional pain of rejection or failure teaches us how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one.
