"struggle is the only reason for existence"

That is a bold and frankly unsupportable claim.

Humans don’t tend towards idle quiescence.

We seem to be insatiable inquisitive.

Curiosity doth struggle many cats.

  • Being inquisitive doesn't equate to loving, or needing, struggle in my brain. Also, struggle differs for many people. Running a half marathon was a struggle for me, but I can't compare it to a family who is struggling to pay bills.

    If we take Maslows hierarchy of needs, me running a half marathon is self actualization. Something I'm privileged to be able to do. A family struggling to put food on the table is still on the Lower tier of the pyramid.
