True progress often accompanies emotional fluctuations because growth is not simply about acquiring more knowledge, but about constantly breaking old perceptions, habits, and self-identity. When new understanding conflicts with old ways of living, cognitive dissonance occurs, and people tend to feel anxious, doubtful, and uncomfortable. This is not a sign of fragility, but a normal reaction as the old psychological structures are being rebuilt. During the stage when a person sees the problem clearly but has not yet stabilized the new pattern, they often experience internal tension and exhaustion; at the same time, the increased self-expectations can also bring pressure. Therefore, emotions are not obstacles to progress; rather, they are signals that cognition is being updated. True growth gradually establishes new stability amid discomfort.
