Pain has a normative quality

there is a "sweet-spot" of feeling uncomfortable

with increasing pain the probability of constructive change (growth) decreases

does this contradict that crisis sometimes leads to impressive change

situations of being "overwhelmed" by pain or other emotions always leads to an unconstructive situation

Premises

pain is a common human experience and a feature of human nature

pain is a purely subjective experience (emotional pain even more so as physical pain)

Other dichotomies

"positive" / "negative"
