But there's lots of pain without gain. I don't actually agree that it is a necessary part of life to go through a period where you hate yourself. Self doubt I like, I think that can be a good thing (of course TONS of people who really REALLY need it never have any)- but I don't personally think self loathing is a good thing and requisite for everyone- except for loathsome individuals, who would only be recognizing reality, and I'm not one of them. And if "it is written that during each lifetime a person shall enter a cathartic period wherein they will find themselves hating themselves" how can we possibly explain the existence of people like Celine Dion and Martha Stewart, not to mention Willaim Shatner.
