It helps to be tolerant of our peculiarities and to not expect life or ourselves to fall into the pattern we might wish them to. The issue of so called normal suffering vs the other sort gets discussed here, of course. IMO, as a society we are used to forms of thinking that are unhelpful and unsophisticated. Leslie Farber is very good on wilfulness, not only in the culture generally, but in therapists as well. It's so long ago that I forget the title.
