    Absolutely, and inner conflict, constant struggle and unhappiness counts as a huge problem, even when external appearances are kept and things run relatively smoothly. Internal peace should always be the primary goal, and not just fitting into the gears of routine life.

      Life is a constant struggle and was for basically all of our ancestors.

      If you think life is only happy and free of inner conflict then that’s only because the drugs.

        Why don’t you go chop off one of your arms. Since life is a constant struggle, more struggle must be good right? You should definitely make your life HARDER.

        In my opinion life not being 100% free of inner conflict vs life being full of it are very different things.

        The goal being inner peace doesn’t mean that one thinks absolute inner peace is possible. At least I tend to reach a bit higher than what I’m only happy with.
