Traditionally young Catholics entered religious life to reject the world, embrace suffering, overcome it through grace and thus attain holiness.

Padre Pio is a good example:
Life is nothing but a continual struggle against one's self, and it does not open to beauty without the price of suffering.
A good way of dealing with our own suffering is allow it to transform us. Jesus taught this specifically suggesting the more difficult path while carrying the cross.
