Anything worthwhile is hard.
Not to be too harsh, but this is Calvinist BS.
Listening to great music isn't hard. Watching a great film isn't hard. Simply spending time with loved ones isn't hard.
All are, in my view, worthwhile.
Yes, there is a satisfaction in accomplishing something difficult. But that neither makes it inherently worthwhile, nor does it mean all worthwhile things are hard.
- JoeAltmaier 10y agoThere is no personal accomplishment to hedonistic pleasure. I would call them pleasant, even broadening which I guess is worthwhile, once in a while. So maybe I should say it with many more words and more detail, so non-Calvinists can get it: many very hard, very demanding things are worth doing even though not constantly pleasurable.
