I'm OK with choosing to take on pain to grow. I do, however, find it creepy when a company's publicly stated values glorify pain.

Some pain is just pain, it's meaningless and even reflecting on it does you no good.

So it's obviously not "true" but at best "sometimes true."

For some reason this discussion reminds me of Yossarian's rant about pain and god in Catch 22.

If it is completely true, then surely "pain = progress - reflection" must also be completely true.
