Don't know if you saw this story, a seven-year-old girl who doesn't feel any pain.

She's got a lot of different issues, and it's such a chromos a chromosomal like anomaly that there's not even

name for the different things that she has but one of them is she doesn't feel pain she fell and

hit her face split open her lip and didn't notice and at first when you hear about wow somebody

even feels no pain i was going to tell you I remember a health class when they talked about that.

And I said, oh, my goodness, that is so awesome because you think superhero.

And then my teacher unpacked what you're probably about to unpack right now.

Yeah, it's tragic.

Yes.

I was thinking about it.

Maybe this doesn't make sense.

I don't know, but I was just thinking about it emotionally. Like, no, none of us want to feel emotional pain

or any uncomfortable emotions, but man, without it,

at least you're human with it,

and even things like anger, which we talk about,

like that's a signal, something's wrong,

some things, emotional pain, something's wrong, genuinely wrong.

It may be, my anger may be because I feel threatened.

Well, why?

It may tip me off.
