pain is a motivator

This note last modified October 2, 2021

Similarly to my thoughts on anger, I feel weird about pain. Many of my biggest productive life changes have come from my being in pain. As a matter of fact, I often put myself in painful situations because I recognize that I grow a lot from doing things.

At the same time, simply living contently is key to eudaimonia. Should you throw yourself into things, or should you be happy with who you are?
