Hmmmmm. I think I did learn what I needed to, since I believe I knew early on that it is never appropriate to open oneself up for injuries (which is what vulnerability means - it doesn't mean that the injury is inevitable, but the risk of injury is intrinsic to the meaning.) Nor is it something I would ever want to be comfortable with.

I still don't understand why other people consider it positive for them, but I guess I'll never know. Especially since my point of view is clearly not valid. (That's not directed at you, JS, since you are one of the few people here who acknowledge that there can be different points of view about this.)
