Another thing I notice is that there is a lot of symmetry between each level of indentation.
In particular, points at the same indentation level are usually of the same length, and often differ in length from the next level of indentation and the previous level. So you have the following:
---
The good.
You know more about yourself and your emotions.
This makes you able to handle emotions more skillfully, as well as stay true to your deep desires.
You have better access to subtle intuitions.
There’s much happening in your brain that you aren’t aware of, and sometimes all the answers you need are already in there somewhere.
You recognize more easily when other people are being honest.
When you get the hang of the skill of connecting to your deep emotions, it will also be easier to tell if other people are doing it or not.
The bad.
You have the reality of your mind rubbed in your face.
You won’t always like what you see.
Depending on your pre-existing assumptions, it might trigger a serious re-evaluation of your self-image and life philosophy.
You might be more easily frustrated with shallow conversations.
Discovering emotions together with other people is a very powerful and enriching experience. But it’s not always appropriate, and you can’t always do it.

Note that each level of indentation has its own style and length. The first one is two words, the second one is one short sentence, and the third one is a paragraph with either a long sentence with multiple clauses, or multiple sentences. I think this helps me a lot in parsing it.

Yeah, agreed.
