The fruits of suffering.

Whoever believes that suffering is undesirable has probably not experienced much good in life yet. Some of the most pleasurable pursuits of mankind are borne of suffering - the blues and its offspring from thralldom, great works of art in the western world from the frustration and depression of the masters, the cornucopia of flavours in "exotic" cuisine from poverty and hunger, technological revolutions from war. Nay, suffering is good, as long as it occurs to others.
