I agree. One of my favourite quotes is from Viktor Frankl's, The Meaning of Life: “What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task. What he needs is…the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.”

There's an assumption, sometimes, that people are inherently lazy and just want easy paths, but I think people actually want challenges. People suffer when they're not sufficiently challenged. We're humans. We're built to solve problems.
