Perhaps

Perhaps suffering has its own purpose.... to extinguish the flames of desire, and thus lead to everlasting peace; the peace of simultaneous time, the peace of eternity. Perhaps it is this peace I am longing after, and the pleasures of physicalness are outdated for me.

idk... physical plesures, while fleeting, can be enjoyable and bring transient happiness

Dear Chris,
"Trials teach mortals not to lean on a material staff,- a broken reed, which pierces the heart. We do not half remember this in the sunshine of joy and prosperity. Sorrow is salutary. Through great tribulation we enter the kingdom. Trials are proofs of God's care. Spiritual development germinates not from seed sown in the soil of material hopes, but when these decay, Love propagates anew the higher joys of Spirit, which have no taint of earth. Each successive stage of experience unfolds new views of divine goodness and love."
-Mary Baker Eddy
Hope this helps it has helped me a lot.
