Training in Progress

 I have taken quite a few sessions with the Giver now, and I am already quite used to training and now I have a much better idea of what the Cheif Elder was talking about when she was telling everyone that this assignment requires the kind of pain we cant even imagine. It does hurt a lot when the Giver gives me painful memories but i can still always look forward to the pleasent ones. After all, it is now my job and responsibility to take them, regardless if they are nice or harsh. As the receiver of memories I now understand this, which is why I tell the Giver to give the painful memories as well. Another reason is that I know that the bad memories cause you pain a lot of the time. When I take the memories from him,it eases his pain and makes me feel better.
