If you engage in pointlessly hard practices/journeys, ones grueling enough to strip away addictions to comfort or addictions to novelty (and realize that each passing second is an infinitely novel rearrangement of time and matter), and in the process, learn to not just spout cliches, but iterate them anew and functionalize them for personal use… 

Then those practices and journeys will have had a point.
