In the book "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, a prophet reflects on the idea that every struggle and action in life is tied to a larger purpose. He tries to convey a sense of peace by suggesting that all suffering contributes to this grand design, urging others to find solace in accepting this notion.
However, this perspective does not provide much comfort to everyone. One character expresses skepticism about finding relief in the belief that their hardships are meaningful, indicating that the idea may not resonate with those who experience deep suffering or grief.
