Very insightful. I resonate with the desire to "make things". Even though my job affords me opportunities to be creative and make things in a digital medium (which I find rewarding), I wonder if there is a degree of separation in the sort of satisfaction this type of "struggle" can provide compared to more hands on pursuits. I still find the need to step away from the computer and engage in more tangible works (manual labor, woodworking, car maintenance, etc.). At any rate, I think this ties into the concept of being made in the image and likeness of God, who chose to create, and thus there is a part of our nature that also finds fulfillment in creation. I also find parallels with the concept that "the obstacle is the way" from Stoicism and the general observation that most growth typically doesn't happen without some sort of resistance/struggle.

I never expected to hear this from Schopenhauer given how he says in other works that happiness on the whole is impossible. This sounds a lot more like Nietzsche

Agreed, this is from S's practical writings, late in his life. Maybe a change of emphasis, or moving in a different direction?

Yep sounds like Nietzsche wasn't so original as one would think!
