"For in all adversity of fortune the worst sort of misery is to have been happy."

Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books.

Recognize you are an unworthy sinner. Fighting sin is the best and most beautiful suffering.

There is no such thing as meaningful suffering. That is just a cope brought by religion.
