Comments by "Harry \x22Nic\x22 Nicholas" (@HarryNicNicholas) on "Why Suffering can Promote Strength and Health" video.
how much suffering is "just the right amount", it strikes me that there might be a fruit that we haven't discovered that will be the nicest, juiciest, most beneficial fruit, but we just don't know about it, likewise is there a pain or a pleasure we haven't discovered yet that would be the most painful or the most pleasurable? the problem of suffering is that it kind of implies i need to be shot in the head so i can benefit from the experience, is there an optimal amount of painful experiences we have to have and then we can die having decided god is the way? how many years exactly of pain and pleasure do we require to find or not find god? it appears to be about 100 years, but i think i need another 20, just to be sure. if you want to fill an afternoon with thinking about crap that won't actually get you anywhere, the problem of suffering is brilliant.
