We as humans have been taught all our lives that pain, failure, suffering and other "negative" things are bad and to be avoided at all costs. The philosophers have been saying that only through the embrace of our failures and suffering will we truly learn to live. I find the philosophers to be far more correct than the teachings of society.

Yep.

Mirrors the Buddhist philosophy of pain being inevitable, but suffering optional based on our attachment/detachment to it.

And if we were to look at it from a different angle, basically this dynamic is the root of all addiction - seeking to escape/avoid the negative, pursuing only the positive...

Life is one long "chasing the dragon". I fall in to the trap regularly as well and need my doses to remind me.

That picture of the jet in the woods makes me think of my friends cabin up in the Northern wilderness. No electricity or running water, just a lot of land and a nice place for shelter. It would be nice to be able to just escape to a place like that from time to time and disconnect from all of the thing working and pulling on our minds. With the frantic pace of life, not many of us take the time to just be still. In our mind, body, and spirit.

But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded and be sober unto prayers.(1 Peter 4:7)
