Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.

- Saint Thomas Aquinas

A quick comment:

I think the book “Games People Play” may have touched on this.

We can, without being aware of it, make ourselves fall into a trap called total self denial and self punishment whereby we deprive ourselves continually the good things or the easy and smart way to do something because of our pride in hardship.
