The Value of Difficulty
The more a fraternity demeans you, the higher its value. Sacrifice and suffering create a sense of value and achievement. However, it is possible to achieve just as much with half the cost and much less suffering by building a healthy and balanced lifestyle. People are disincentivized to talk about things not being hard because it diminishes the achievement and invites criticism. The perception of value is often conflated with difficulty, but true value comes from intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and loving fulfillment. Stepping outside of comfort zones can lead to valuable experiences. It is important to distinguish between something difficult and something valuable, as not everything that is difficult is worthwhile.
