we are reassured knowing that what we thought was exceptional was, in fact, exceptional, and that we are right to feel as awesome as we do for having been through it and coped.
Exactly. I just got something diagnostic done for something painful*, and while it was disappointing to see what I feared, I somehow felt much better for knowing that my unpleasant sensations were justified by something tangible and known by everyone to be a legit source of pain.
Is it all about our puritanical moral wotsit with respect to pain? I mean, you feel what you feel. How is it that some pain is more respectable than other pain? I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that I’m not that sensitive to many kinds of pain, and I know for a fact it’s not the product of moral virtue. And to the extent that I don’t notice that I’ve hurt myself in time, it’s a damned nuisance.
