The Growth of Pain
It seems to me that people differ in how versatile they are to suffering. I think it's almost this anticipatory fear of pain and suffering, right? At one extreme where someone has a great deal of fear about each unit of suffering, they're going to be really restricted in the actions that they can take. The other extreme where they have no fear of the suffering, you could get almost like a pathological response on the other side. So maybe there's like some kind of balance to be struck there.
