Maybe, Nico from Love Live! Used to be a meme character for me until I discovered that her DEAD father taught her the catchphrase "nico nico nii~" and that's why she uses it

i dont like these threads because theyre done ironically by people who have alright lives and it may cause someone who has a bad life to feel in good company

Bye bye!

If you torture a rodent or a hobo, will it ever have more of a character than a monk that has never once suffered?

Usually.

Depends

>Monks don't suffer
They do they just embrace it and it no longer becomes suffering to them.

That does not disprove my point.

I'm not OP, no it wouldn't build character. How do you determine what a interesting person is objectively to begin with? Based on success or knowledge?

Not if it's without meaning

No. Building character creates suffering. Are you the character which suffers? No, you are not. Remove the illusion of the outer character and the inner essence will become apparent.

How can suffering have meaning?

It depends on whether the person who is suffering can learn from it or not.

Fuck off

Usually.

Not necessarily.
