I had contemplated going down a hedonistic letter, too, stating that growth comes through either pleasure or pain, but ultimately decided against that. I think there is some truth to it, however.

I had no idea what I was going to write when I started, it was largely a freewrite that got a lot of editing after I was done. I'm not sure I've ever had the experience of personal growth as a result of pleasure. Maybe a moment or two of feeling safe, or if it followed trauma it could enhance the lesson learned then. Pleasure seemed to reinforce my undesirable characteristics, like my swelled head. I'd love to hear more about that from you.
