I have been re-reading some notes I made while addressing some behaviors that were making me uncomfortable. Are making my uncomfortable still, unfortunately. From time to time, as is my habit, I look up words. The above definitions were strung out here and there. I am struck by how many negative concepts come up. Apparently I'm not drawn to positive ideas.
