According to cognitive dissonance theory, we come to love the things we suffer for. For example, we tend to be especially loyal to groups that require severe or painful initiations. Why does this happen?
 
  a. This happens because the goals themselves (the things that we suffer for) are actually always very valuable; otherwise, we wouldn't have suffered for them in the first place.
  b. This happens because, deep down, people really like to suffer.
  c. This happens because we are motivated to justify the time and effort we've spent on our choices.
  d. This happens because classical conditioning is at play: when we finally reach our goals, our suffering ends. We therefore associate our goals with end of suffering and come to love them.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
