@beberlei Although I no longer have much use for HTTP middleware, I am heartened to see the HttpContext object, instead of dumping things into the Request.
@mnapoli Am interested to hear about the exceptions -- can you give hints or a summary?
@funkatron I am very interested to hear the subjective experience of it!
@linc Drucker notes that nobody starts with "the facts" -- everyone starts with "criteria of relevance", and those depend on a "world view." Cf. https://pmjones.io/post/2010/11/06/start-with-opinions-not-facts/
@funkatron I am not a therapist, this comment is worth what you paid for it, etc.
Suffering is a complicated topic; but: if your suffering does not lead to moral/emotional/spiritual growth, there is no gain from enduring it.
You are no more "dependent" on pain relief than a construction worker is "dependent" on repair supplies.
(Cribbed from Peck's "The Road Less Travelled" which was formative for me.)
I hope you are doing better today!
@funkatron Any idea where the guilt is coming from? Do you feel like it's a moral failure, somehow? Or is it something telling you that you deserve to be in pain?
