In stoicism there is a famous saying that nothing is good, and nothing is bad. Although that can be very idealistic to just be very neutral about everything, we humans can never be in such robotic manner our whole lives, we are emotional creatures after all, we unconsciously will see something as either good or bad, nice or unpleasant, preferable or not preferable to a certain extent. We love the good stuff don't we? We love feeling happy, excited, thrilled, amazed and so on, but often we don't welcome the unpleasant stuff like sadness, boredom, struggles, failures, setbacks, and unfortunate circumstances. We often don't want them to happen ever in our lives, that is why we avoid them or just completely divert our attention away from them, because our mind always want the path of least resistance. However, hardships and struggles are the essential and unavoidable parts of life, and in fact those "painful" and "unpleasant" things are the ones that will make you grow into a better human being. The only thing that is required is for people to change their point of view on approaching them.
