&gt; Adversity is what gives life meaning, improves us as people, and (paradoxically) creates happiness<p>And one must imagine sisyphus to be happy?<p>I suspect, the attacks is what gets boring. Attacks that you need to fend off which have only an impact on your imagined legacy, not your present state of existence.<p>Fighting something you should be ignoring (rather, can ignore without consequence to your next day) is just soul crushing.<p>It&#x27;s the same sort of reaction to writing a random comment and reading the responses, most of which do not deserve a response from you - but it&#x27;s so hard to let it go and live your life when someone&#x27;s being wrong on the internet.<p>That is an adversity without meaning - experience being willfully misunderstood by people. I would imagine it would dull me, if I forced myself to explain my mind ad nauseam.
