Without making a value judgement, there's an aspect of the human psychology that revels in certain challenges simply because they are hard and impactful. This can be a good thing, and it can be a bad thing. It can separately be good or bad for the people involved, and for the world that they impact. But it is a normal and recurring part of human nature.

- brundolf 5y agoI'm not even sure I would call it a "good trait" (though I'm not sure I would call it a "bad trait" either), I just felt like the GP feigning a total lack of understanding and claiming that anybody who's experienced this feeling must be "indoctrinated" seemed disingenuous. For better or worse most of us have experienced it at one time or another, and all of us have at least witnessed it in other people. It's nothing mysterious or unimaginable.
