A man’s power is experience.
Experience is only gained via suffering.
Advice = other people’s experience gained by suffering.
Reason = Analyzing how you suffered and if it was worth it.
Imagination = understanding the suffering which could happen.
It’s suffering that gives man power, that gives him meaning.
Like a well-worn teddy bear, who’s comforted a child for years - the more damaged he is, the more valuable he is.
