I'm glad! Reading that chapter, I realized I never questioned the idea that we're supposed to be in pain. Rand's work, of course, rejected that - she claimed humanity's natural state is that of joy. I'm stunned it took this long for that lesson - amplified by Cameron - to become clear.
Thank you Amethysta! I will choose to be kinder to myself!

I admit - I didn't think the book would be that deep. You may have inspired me to read it now!
I believe *feeling* pain is necessary when it happens. I'm not sure if I like the idea that we must have pain to have pleasure. Did I get that right?
