[βαθμιαίος]

I have asked time and again to at least understand the underlying root of this pain, so that I could attempt to balance whatever distortion is causing it, and the answer I always get is "Dear One, this must simply be endured." Perhaps the whole point was for me to realize what Joy truly is...something that exists apart from my physical state.
