What a prolix pile of raw, unthinking emotion. The original post was kinda silly, but it was miles ahead of this irrational Puritanical drivel.

If you believe that life should be hard, then you are welcome to make things hard for yourself. Personally, when something is hard, I treat that as a problem to be solved so that living a good life is as easy as possible. I think my approach will be more fruitful in the end, but hey, it's your life.
