I know some veterans from WWII who told me that although war is hell, it does make you focus. In battle one tends to block everything else out and concentrate on the present situation. A person who tries to kill you will certainly get your attention.
Our culture is at at war with evil. Our enemy isn't flesh and blood but the spiritual. Sometimes it does well for us to focus on this to overcome pain and suffering. Knowing that we need to fight will often times take our minds off our own personal struggles and help us concentrate on what is right.
Peter Kreeft tells us that to win a battle we need to acknowledge we are at war, know the enemy and what weapons to use.
