Absolutely, and inner conflict, constant struggle and unhappiness counts as a huge problem, even when external appearances are kept and things run relatively smoothly. Internal peace should always be the primary goal, and not just fitting into the gears of routine life.
Why don’t you go chop off one of your arms. Since life is a constant struggle, more struggle must be good right? You should definitely make your life HARDER.
Not the same and that kind of animosity for the first world problems of not being happy or productive enough to be able to exist in the modern society without the assistance of drugs does not require me to praise the practice.
I’m not suggesting people make it harder on themselves but there were much bigger issues in just the recent past and coming in the future to not add more to that. But there are people struggling with removed limbs or malformed ones from birth who could use more accomodations, than those who think their life isn’t as easy as someone else’s who has more money than them.
So you believe that people with real diagnosed medical issues should just suck it up because somewhere else in the world people don’t have running water.
In my opinion life not being 100% free of inner conflict vs life being full of it are very different things.
The goal being inner peace doesn’t mean that one thinks absolute inner peace is possible. At least I tend to reach a bit higher than what I’m only happy with.

In other words. What a terrible response.
