Suffering is the greatest teacher a man will ever have—more honest, humbling, and transformative than comfort could ever be. If ignored, it weakens you; if embraced, it sharpens you into a man of discipline, resilience, and clarity. Pain strips away illusions, revealing hard truths that force growth, endurance, and strength. The man who studies his suffering instead of running from it becomes dangerous—not to others, but to his own limitations.
