Agreed but also plz note the corollary viz. that 9 Av and its season
grows more intense!

It's like a tzintzum or riccuz of all tzaros heaped up into a single pile.

That's why IMHO post-Holocaust we shouldn't be looking for kulos.
(Except maybe for "personal hygeine" issues which has to do with how we
are socially nowadays)
