Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.

Now
what are you going to do about that? You voluntarily accept it, and
then strive to overcome the suffering. You do that for you and you do
it in a way that makes it better for other people. If you turn around
and confront the suffering voluntarily, you’ll find out that you are way
tougher than you think, it’s not that life is better than you think! Life
is as hash as you think, it might be even worse. That is very
pessimistic, but the optimistic part is that we are so damn tough we
can deal with it.
I think the fact that we are armed for the tasks is even more true than
the fact that life is catastrophe. We stronger than things are terrible,
and things are pretty terrible, that means we pretty damn strong.

Once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult.
