Where the treasure lies,
There is of greater measure the difficulty to be borne, endured and suffered.

Ah, ah...
Suffering abounds.
That desirable difficulty makes one better.

Hold unto that difficulty,
Of prejudice, injustice, hate...
And never let go until it gets a better of you.

And if you can't get at what you want,
That desirable treasure,
Then be the treasure.
Thy most desired blessing.
Of thyself.
And of others.

So, let the Wiseman make sufficient himself and in himself, the sufficiency for himself and for others.
But all these, must be achieved lest through suffering;
The fires that burn off the chaffs and makes us the treasure.

Ah, I get it now! The saying 'Where the treasure lies, there is greater difficulty' really hits home. Just like me trying to stay true to myself through all sorts of challenges... It's all part of growing stronger. That's what makes it all worth it in the end.
