Friction

What if friction is the key to a happy life? What if doing the most grueling and difficult things possible brings us the most joy and satisfaction? Would you do it? Would you willing choose to put yourself through the pain and punishment to feel fulfillment? Maybe you could do it for 10 minutes, or 1 hour, or maybe 1 day. But, could you do it repeatedly day after day, after week, after year, for many years? Could you consistently push yourself to the limits of what you even thought possible? What if along the way you built up your soul to the strongest its ever been. Maybe this strong soul is what causes us to have a good life, and a weak soul a miserable life. Maybe having a strong soul is more valuable than any fortune can bring us? What if you were just crazy enough to explore this new mindset? What if you believed it? Who do you think you would become?
