Chapter 10."You're a hard person to comfort," Augustus said."Easy comfort isn't comforting," I said. "You were a rare and fragile flower once. You remember."
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!
Normally easy comforting isn't what people want although we think we do. We believe that a few nice words from someone else can make us feel better. However I do not believe this is true. Are these comforting words really a consolation for the grief, pain, anger or anxiety that we feel after experiencing something? I believe people still are affected but they try to ignore it and move on after hearing a few words to help brighten the situation.
Hazel Grace, you are my hero. I could not have said it better myself. This "easy comforting" is basically a deceptive outward appearance. It is fake. No one after an event feels fully better no matter how much comforting they receive.
