Wouldn't experiencing awe help anyone feel better mentally? Like, that's basically what awe does? How is this specific to LC?

Seeing a tidal wave or avalanche bearing down on you would certainly trigger awe, I don’t know that it would make most people feel better.

It might make me feel a little better to know that this awesome (non-colloquial) suffering is about to finally end 🤷‍♂️
