The passage of the first section in chapter 12 of Beyond Order delves into Jordan Peterson's perspective on embracing suffering and gratitude in life's trials. He contemplates the pursuit of certainty and the navigation of challenging thoughts, recognizing the inevitability of suffering and malevolence. Peterson believes in humanity's potential to rise above suffering and curb malevolence, asserting that confronting suffering courageously is crucial for psychological well-being.
This approach yields psychological and practical benefits, promoting personal growth and positive contributions. Peterson underscores the significance of honesty, containing malevolence, and the role of optimism cultivated through facing life's darkness. Gratitude, he contends, gains depth when one comprehends life's gravity and potential hardships.
The fascination with evil in media, he suggests, aids in understanding human morality and shielding against negative influences. Exploring darkness, Peterson analogizes, becomes a form of self-defense and enlightenment.
