Wow. The prevailing narrative is so ubiquitous in movies, sitcoms, books, etc. Thank you for taking the time to spell out a different way of looking at things. Thank you, also, for this sentence: "Most work is a form of suffering." I think it's helpful to understand that from the outset. Then, when things get annoying, tiresome, or really tough, it will be less of a shock, and one will simply know it's time to hunker down and persist.
