It's fine
That is a vallid interpretation, and one I would have pre RoW agreed with, now I'm begining to think it's more simmilar to the Thrill, the emotions ascociated with contest and fighting. Anger, Hate, Determination, Glory etc. You can't have that without oposition, which is why I think Odium likes questions, it is the begining of conflict.
I don't see a huge difference between it and a medical or therepudic treatment.
