As long as your objective conditions aren't abusive (like working in mainstream educaction) in which case you should get out (and try and bring the system down), then suffering/ struggle is just a perfecrtly ordinary part of life... which should be embraced... it's yours and nobody elses after all!
Real objective hardship is different... famine/ insecurity/ violence etc.
I have this mental habit of seeing perpetually happy people as like children (actually more like the Eloi in HG Wells' Time Machine) - they've yet to realise the hardships of life and the meantime I tolerate them.

We have created a generation or three of reducing emotional hardships through a process of separation. Engineered happiness through avoidance.
It is something that interests me...the discnnect... millions of people thinking they can make money out of 'doing what they love'.
Actually there's a lot of people spreading that nonsense on steem.
A few people can (especially if wife/ hubby earn $60K)... 99% can't.

Making money and making enough to live off is different. I feel that many people don't know what they love, only what they think they want. If they found what they were passionate about, it would likely tear then apart - unprepared for the work.
'life is suffering, get used to it...' A Peterson one liner, that changed the perspective of millions!
