Am I deserving of having a great time? Am I deserving of having this amount of positive energy in my life? Am I worth it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the answer to all of those is a resounding yes. Yes. Yes. Yes you are deserving and yes you are worthy. You are deserving and worthy of all good things and love. Full stop. If you need a reason, here it is: because you exist.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>pain and pleasure</title><link>https://cheret.de/2020/08/pain-and-pleasure/</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2020 19:51:23 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://cheret.de/2020/08/pain-and-pleasure/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="achieving-deeper-levels-of-fulfilment-by-choice"&gt;Achieving deeper levels of fulfilment by choice&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When looking at punishment and reward in terms of educational methodologies, it’s psychologically proven that rewards are more effective than punishment.&lt;sup id="fnref:1"&gt;&lt;a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;div style="-webkit-column-count: 2; -moz-column-count: 2; column-count: 2;"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
So far so unsurprising as pleasure promotes a higher state of being than punishment. If everything I believe in turns out to be a shared objective factual experience, that means that there is a natural drive towards a higher state of being, otherwise referred to as the good in every human being, against all odds. The following chart aims to illustrate that, even if pain and pleasure as such are not included. I believe that you know where to rank them, though.
&lt;p&gt;My natural drive goes toward self-improvement and empowerment. Positive emotions are empowering. As we discover, however, it is also required to endure and move past negative emotions and face the pain experienced in that time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
