Without struggle and effort what exactly is the point of being human? How can anyone appreciate art that took no effort, cost or sacrifice to create?

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
