Wise words. Humans appear to need resistance between themselves and the achievement of a goal/wish, else we don’t seem to give it any real value.
This example has stuck with me, from https://awesci.com/the-role-of-wind-in-a-trees-life/
> The major discovery from it was something they had never expected. The most interesting thing they learnt from it was the importance of wind in a plant’s life. Who’d have thought! > > In the biosphere 2 [without wind], they had trees growing faster than they would grow in the wild. Also, they found that these trees wouldn’t completely mature. Before they could, they used to collapse. Later it was found that this was caused by the lack of wind in the biosphere. And it turns out, wind plays a major role in a trees life. The presence of wind makes a tree stronger, it is thus able to mature and not fall down due to its own weight.
Maybe all kinds of life need some sort of resistance to thrive?
