Learning to take responsibility and accepting that everything comes with profit and cost, are two of the great battles of the individual (and therefore, of the society). We usually want to live only with those things/conditions etc that our personality thinks as pleasant. We tend to pursue the pleasure, and to avoid the unpleasant (the pain). But, one couldn't exist without the other. And, the greatest challenge for us, is to go beyond both.

But, until the right time for each human being, there will be the ..."no rawness, just distractions", as you said beautifully.
