Question: Are there any heuristics you use to distinguish between lows that are in service of growth (or the consequence of taking a justified risk!) and lows that are just...bad.
It seems to me like some kinds of suffering truly are part of a full life (say, mourning the loss of a loved one), while others really only detract (say, chronic pain or severe mental illness).
Do you think about it the same way, or is there another frame you use?
Loved this one!
