Healing is a great superpower, but like you said, taking away misery and suffering, whilst a noble goal does have it's downsides in affecting the growth of the person. I would liken it to the relationship between a child and a parent. As a parent, we feel an urge to protect and mitigate every difficult situation or any potential suffering that our child might encounter. However, for them to grow and learn to deal with situations (and to learn skills, perspective and experience) they might need to deal with that suffering/misery on their own terms and without the aid of a hero jumping in....

Well said - still, I would like that super power. There is so much suffering in the world that is caused by inequality. there is no lesson in people starving, getting bombed or kids being abused. At least not for them - for us - to do something.
