Episode description

Humans, unlike other animals, don't suffer because of constant fear of being eaten or not being able to get medical help, these problems are well taken care of in our modern society. But still we are creating more and more problems for ourselves, we are suffering our extremely good fortune and our comfort is ruining our potential. We run away from suffering and that's why, paradoxically, we get more of it. So, to understand the value of suffering, we will discuss few ideas of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and why he believed that accepting your suffering and then transcending it, is the best way to become a superior human being.
