Minimize it, sure, but don't eliminate it altogether.
Oh, I've got a good one: I wish Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans existed (and that I had won a free lifetime supply.)
Even the bogie flavoured ones?
I agree with you somewhat on adversity, though it would be nice to go through weeks or even months without some utter prick trying to make our lives more difficult by being a dick.
The challenge should lie in the betterment of humanity and our environment, be it medical knowledge or physical understanding of the universe, without having to put up with some petty, selfish sonofa/bitch with a personal agenda derailing it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
