Having a physical form can be a downright horrible experience. There are all sorts of symptoms and sensations that most of us will experience many, many times in our life that also happen to be some of the most cringe-inducing feelings out there. Even if you don’t agree with the nihilism, it’s hard not to find some truth in Nietzsche saying «to live is to suffer».

We tend to forget the second half of this famous quote: «…to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering». That’s all well and good when you’re talking about an existential crisis, but it doesn’t feel so applicable when you’ve got a stuffy nose and a wet sock. Redditors recently gathered together to complain about some of the most unpleasant minor things that we can physically experience, and it was not nice at all. I feel gross just thinking about all of them.
