If people can't deal with their problems, they numb themselves a little bit.

Painful emotions show you what prevents you from creating harmony, cooperation, sharing and reverence for life.

We are like horses who hurt themselves as soon as they pull on their bits - and we bow our heads. We even lose consciousness of the situation, we just submit. Any re-awakening of thought is then painful.

It's an emotional time for you when you get injured. You're going through so much. You have a lot of time to think to yourself.
