Then I realized a chunk of “suffering is moral” is partly self soothing, the equivalent of treating myself to pie for dinner or missing sleep because I feel my time’s stolen by a job. Stacks with how compassion and generosity are more visible contrasted with experiences that drive me into myself; with expectation that effort exerted should have some effect. (And from there we get into more personal, less universal beliefs that somehow I’m doomed to get the short end of the stick.)
