There is a big difference between ignoring discomfort and not allowing discomfort to negatively affect you. The difference between being numb to hurt and not letting yourself be hurt. The difference between letting something bounce off you and letting something roll off you. The difference between denial of pain and acknowledgement of that pain while allowing to sting to subside.
If I allow myself to feel I may not have to feel what I flee. To say nothing is wrong betrays yourself. To feel nothing is wrong! I must admit that I exist in order to stand up for myself. I can absorb the pain and let it flow through me only if I allow myself to be of enough substance to matter.
