About This Quote

Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it. This quote from William Shakespeare is made from the words of Antony to his fellow conspirator in "Julius Caesar": “Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.” If you have an accident, or if you have a broken bone, or if you have a bad day, you have to expect that at some point your pain will come back. But, if you can keep your mind busy with something else, it makes the pain seem less real. The more focused you are on a problem, the smaller it becomes, and the less likely that problem is going to have an effect on you.
