fardo


Explanation:
De acordo com o contexto, parece tratar-se de algo que não deve ser desagradável e difícil. Portanto, de acordo com a definição de fardo do Dicionário Aulete, parece-me que seria uma opção possível:

3. Fig. P.ext. Aquilo que é penoso, difícil de fazer, carregar ou suportar: o fardo da velhice.
