I appreciate learning and positive growth. The side effects of it which I cannot control and have stopped pretending that I can control, are something to learn from. Appreciation is not exactly it. It is observation and learning. By far the most common response is to cower and suppress one's development simply because others do not like it, even if it is at a subconscious, reactionary level. That doesn't help anyone.
