Everything gets boring eventually. That's the reason a lot of giga rich people are so F'ed up, they can't find normal stuff that gets them excited anymore.

Having challenges and goals in life is important.
 
Isn't what EVERYBODY wants?

(Except womens, they are stupid and need to be on a emotionnal roller coaster to be happy...)
damn, was gonna say i'd take the hard life, which is what i've lived. it's not that i need the excitement, in fact life now is pretty easy going and im content with that. it's nice. but anyways, i like having all these crazy experiences under my belt, as traumatizing as most have been. when i talk to people that have lived relatively easy lives, idk, theres just something lacking to them. their capability of understanding situations, how far their compassion goes, and their advice blows, stuff like that. i hate talking to them lol. i don't want to be one of those people.

Everyone wants to get rich until they find out that's it's really kind of disturbing

also they severely lack resilience, so when shit inevitably hits the fan, chaos ensues.
 
Having had to work hard growing up I can appreciate the life lessons...

...but ignorance is bliss, and while it may be hypocrisy to want my kids to have to learn the struggle to become resiliant...I wish I didn't have to put up with the shit I did growing up.

So my answer is: good question
 
I don't need any David Goggins pep talk. I'll take the easy way out. I don't like waking up to an alarm clock when it's still dark to get ready for work so I can pay bills. I'd rather wake up with a little sun and make some french toast while Alfred pays my bills.
 
As you've presented it, I think it's a false dichotomy. Yeah, I think that without challenge, life would be pretty meaningless, but I'd rather live in a world where people are free to seek out their own challenges to overcome than one where people have to work their fingers to the bone just to barely survive.
