As a physician, I often see what happens after symptoms resolve. Patients expect life to feel settled, but instead they face a different challenge. How to evaluate themselves without forgetting what they carried before healing.
Robert spoke about this honestly. His condition was physical and visible, and once it improved, he expected that to fix more than it could. What followed was the realization that healing changes the frame of reference rather than eliminating self judgment.
This chapter reflects that shift. Remembering where you started allows you to recognize progress without minimizing present effort. It is not about lowering standards. It is about fairness and perspective after recovery.
