Additional Information:
According to this quote from game designer Jane McGonigal, suffering a powerfully painful experience does not mean you have to be unhappy forever. Instead, such an experience can cause the opposite to happen: it can propel you to greater happiness and self-discovery than you had before said traumatic experience.
This quote is from McGonigal's 2012 TED Talk about a game that can lead to greater happiness and a longer life. According to McGonigal, the game can help you experience the phenomenon described in this quote -- "post-traumatic growth."
