"De certaines manières, la souffrance cesse d'être une souffrance au moment où elle trouve un sens, comme le sens d'un sacrifice."

Viktor E. Frankl

Simplified Meaning:

When we go through tough times or pain and we understand there's an important reason behind it, the pain feels less overwhelming. Think about a parent who works long hours in a tough job to give their child a better future. Even though the work is hard and tiring, the parent feels it's worth it because it helps their child succeed. The parent's hard work has meaning, so it doesn't feel just like suffering. It's the same with anyone who sacrifices for someone or something they care about—it could be a firefighter running into danger because saving lives is important to them. Knowing that their struggle makes a difference or helps others makes the difficulty more bearable. So, finding a purpose in what you're going through can help you handle the pain better.
