To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Analysis: To live is to suffer, as life in itself is innately suffering. But because life is suffering, we should find a cause, an ideal to suffer for so the others that precede us shall suffer less. It’s the ultimate goal of human existence, to create future generations and reduce its suffering.

Application: Set goals, have a vision, commit yourself to a higher purpose as that’s where you will find your suffering worthwhile and find meaning in your existence.
