You're Still Alive

That's the thing about pain, isn't it? Really feeling it doesn't make it stop. It just shows you you're still alive.

Olivia Moore from iZombie "The Exterminator"

I think the scariest thing is when you have felt so much pain, you start to become numb. To me, this means that you have been damaged so much so you do not even notice important warning signs, whether it's for a physical or psychological wound. The ability to comprehend the pain means that you still have a will and ability to live.
