About This Quote

Daniel J. Kaji has made it quite clear that his main goal is to make you laugh. However, he also wants to make you think. There is a lot of truth in what he says about pain and his definition of pain is spot on.

Pain, just like any other sensation, tells us something is not right. Pain makes us move our hand away from the stove or let go of the broken glass.
