You make a really good point, but it extends beyond pain. For example, from time to time, many times even, consistently, I might feel confusion, disappointment, sadness, anxiety, frustration, worry, fear.... and if I experience those things, then I'm pretty sure other people do, too. I respond well to kindness, good communication with others, getting the "benefit of the doubt" and, generally, being accepted the way I am -- not the way other people think I SHOULD be. If that works for ME (and it does), I'm positive other people would appreciate being treated the same way. I'm not perfect, I miss the mark many times and often rub people the wrong way.... but self-overcoming is my freedom. BTW... I hope everyone has a soft landing after this month's Mercury retrograde in Virgo and Venus retrograde in Leo. Just remember: it could be worse and, before the dust settles, it still might be.

well said, Krysta. Kindness is essential to ease any sort of pain.
