I found this phrase on the internet and the structure, as well as the meaning of the sentence felt kind of odd.
"Pain is a particularly powerful ingredient in producing bonding and cooperation between those who share painful experiences."
Isn't pain too redundant? The people were already sharing those painful experiences, why is there need to add more pain? Am I just comprehending it wrongly?
