True, and I think ultimately it is merely a fault in our thinking. Many people think "I'm going to suffer through this process because the end goal is worth it." Where they are wrong is equating a process that does not necessarily bring pure pleasure and joy with "suffering." You must be able to change your state of mind to see that there is no concept of pleasure without pain, there is no warmth without cold, and there is no joy without sadness. When we are sad, we should embrace it and revel in it as a natural part of life.
