Hurt-v. cause emotional anguish or make miserable

I remember my dentist, Dr. Schwartz, always marvelling over my high pain tolerance. My sensei expressed the same while demonstrating moves on me past the point where most would have tapped out, or yelped like some wounded animal. Pain as we all know, comes in many forms. If only the same people that called me a robot, and cold, or emotionless knew how things they said permeated me and to what extent they did. Once in a while I bleed, sweat, use logic and reasoning, walk upright, and sympathize with others......... at which point I realize that I am human afterall.
