The problem with thick skin is that it leaves you impervious to the sharpest of pins. Everything becomes dull. But without that sense of pain, there cannot be that sense of relief. Ultimately, the thickened skin leaves you numb, incapable of feeling the highs and lows of life. It leaves you rough like a rock and just as inanimate. Michael Soll
About This Quote

When people are exposed to pain, they feel it. But when people are exposed to pleasure, they become numb to the pain. The problem is that people who have thick skin don’t feel pleasure or pain. They only see things from a distance, making them incapable of experiencing the joys and sorrows of life. They become inanimate rocks, incapable of feeling anything at all.
