[:pain:] • Likely rationally intangible • Often responded to with aversion instead of curiosity, meaning we do not allow ourselves to address it (see curiosity) • A tool for growth in an over-comfortable life • Modern life is comfortable to the pointa of sedation • Pain breaks us out of this sedation • Thus, pain is the way to growth • Let us take this pain in stride, building towards growth, instead of trying to resist it.
