From Matt Fitzgerald
Quoting Michael Atkinson, PhD, a sociologist at England’s Loughborough University:
"In our culture we are told that suffering is a bad thing, and you should never do it. But these people say to me that when you discover that suffering isn’t going to kill you, a lot of really important things about yourself are revealed to you. You learn a ton about who you are and what you’re capable of, not just physically but also mentally. This becomes a vehicle of self-exploration."
