Partial Motivation 1: I want to understand how I deal with suffering. How did the suffering shape how I see the world? I want to explore and embrace the system that I developed to approach suffering.
Partial Motivation 2: I want to understand how others deal with suffering. I want to understand how is their approach different from mine. I want to understand how they make their strategies work.
Partial Motivation 3: I want to understand how society as a whole absorbs the different approaches of all individuals. How does society keep moving forward. How do we adapt to and adjust to each other?
