Tengo dudas con respecto del español, pero te puedo decir definitivamente que la idea de ensalzar a alguien en inglés por "not being unbearable" es una barbaridad.
Por ende, una afirmación queda más natural en este contexto.
Por cierto, la palabra es "inspiring" y no "inspirating."

Aug 12, 2014 - He was so brilliant, so vital, so much a part of our collective ... I did this not simply because, like so many others, I felt that I had a personal stake in the loss ... a burden that always teetered on the edge of being achingly unbearable. He ... And yet you'll never guess how Trump is responding to the revelation. :))

but, on the contrary, agreeable
This practice is not in the least painful, but, on the contrary, agreeable.
