Sigismund - I think it is a vestige of the culture's (specifically America's) puritanical roots that we believe suffering is good, e.g. that it leads to resilience and "toughness" and holiness. But those in the know know endless suffering without a circumstantial cause leads to demoralization. That view leads to the idea that no one should get to experience euphoria unless they "deserve it" or toil for it in the right ways.
SLS - I'm losing hope in science-based medicine in the medical-industrial complex.
