About This Quote

I hate pain, despite my ability to tolerate it beyond all known parameters, which is not necessarily a good thing. When you are hurt, you will be able to feel pain. But, not everyone can feel pain. Some people are able to feel pain even though they are unable to feel the full effects of the pain.

They are able to not only tolerate the pain but also feel it. Pain is something that cannot be avoided but also something that can be learned to tolerate or even enjoy.
