I agree with you but your conceptualization doesn't explain why people should put up with suffering just because they've seen suffering and are used to suffering. That's not logical. There's no reason to go in depth unless you can actually present an argument based on necessity or some kind of platform that would explain it other than "people put up with it".

How about "because you're being paid 6 figures to do it and you could be getting paid $25k for something a lot more shitty"
Bah, it's a soul sucking reason. I quite my microsoft job to go bum around in SE asia while my SO finishes her TOEFL master degree. My startups annual revenue is only like 60k and I have two developers, an assistant, content guy and a designer on the payroll part time but I'll take my 100k less a year salary out here versus doing boring crap back at Microsoft any day.
Suffering? I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Hur, I can suffer harder than you! I almost can't believe you want to one-up me on a race to hell.
