About This Quote
In The Princess Bride, Inigo Montoya tells Westley that “In the future, there will be no more wars because what have you learned from this history? They're all been started by peoples who have been drunk on success.” He’s right. The first book of the Bible is titled, The Torah. It’s a very dirty word in Judaism. It means to memorize and commit to memory.
But have you ever noticed that when going to a hospital or a doctor’s office they ask if you want to be given some pain medication? They ask you if you want your hands to be numbed with something called an anesthetic? Remember what I said earlier about people needing pain medication for their mental health? That’s because people are addicted to pain. People love their pains and will do anything to avoid them, but the truth is that pain is good for us. We need our pains to stop us from doing things we aren’t supposed to do.
We need our pains so that we can stop ourselves from doing bad things that hurt other people or ourselves. If we were not afraid of our pains then we would do things without thinking about them, and so we would hurt other people, which is how war starts in the first place.
