The quote in Keith's signature describes exactly what's wrong with the idea of "personal growth." It almost universally implies that it will make you "better," which in turn implies that you are "worse." True growth is a process, not of betterment, but simply of change, of flowing from one state into another state that is perhaps a little bit wiser. You can put whatever definition you want to it, but in the end there is no better or worse.
