Learning more about yourself and exercising it all in your favor is a great way to achieve a greater level and empathy for the power of equanimity that exists within you.

Quite the medication or should I say hospitality to one self.

It's actually a workable option, looking at a restaurant for instance, learning more about a customer definitely helps one know what's best to serve them.

Back to ourselves, there's absolutely no way to please one self when we can't even dictate our own desires.

A state of calmness only follows up when someone is engaged in the things they love doing, things that gives them happiness and unconsciously keeps their minds relaxed.

So yeah, it's definitely a pain killer.
