This conversation is closed.
How has enduring some extreme hardship profoundly impacted your life?
Twenty years ago, the death of my best friend allowed me to cry after the Army had "trained" it out of me.
Recently marital separation has caused me to evaluate and refocus my life on deeper, more valuable things than pleasure, power, status and wealth.
Voluntarily living to serve and care for others transcends logic and selfishness.
It's benefits far surpass self-serving forms of love.
Whether you are "paying it forward," "doing as you'd want others to do for you," or "creating good karma," personally making the world a better place probably benefits the doer most of all.
Furthermore, the more you're willing to endure and suffer, the better the result.
