Acharya Prashant explains that if a goal is truly worthy, its worthiness acts as an antidote to the pain encountered while pushing boundaries. Pain accumulates only when goals are insubstantive or incorrect, leading to a net negative trade-off where the attainment does not bring proportionate relief. He clarifies that even a so-called easy life, such as one spent watching television, is not pain-free; rather, it is often an attempt to escape an underlying pain. In contrast, when one pursues a right goal, the rewards are instantaneous and the ability to endure challenges increases, making the transaction favorable.
