The people who tell you to be willing to experience suffering aren’t trying to get you to glorify suffering. They’re trying to increase your chance at happiness.
Suffering sucks.
But if you’re unwilling to experience it your life will be even worse.
So you have to learn how to endure discomfort.
But that doesn’t mean you should now make suffering your religion and think it’s cool to be miserable. It’s not.
It’s just a piece of the human experience.
If you run from suffering, your life will be hell. And if you decide you’re just gonna suffer all the time because you think it’s the right thing to do, your life will also be hell.
But if you’re willing to embrace the experiences of life as they come, you’ve got a shot at having a good time while you’re here.
