People will accept physical torture long before they will truly accept seeing themselves. Physical torment I think is the simplest understanding one can give for what the mind truly fears.
Right, you ever have your finger nails peeled off with some pliers? What about having your bones broken and purposefully misaligned over and over for months? Or have you spent days forcefully conscious and alert on meth despite having so many parts of your body cut and peeled off that you should have gone into shock and passed out within minutes? No, many people would not choose that over therapy; men, maybe, lol
Another news flash for you: you are a physical thing that exists in a physical world. Physical pain is not “simple,” it is literally the only sensation you experience, including the way that emotional pain manifests because of the neurons firing in your brain. I seriously don’t believe in you’ve grappled with the reality of these things and you don’t deserve to speak as the authority you seem to think you are. You don’t have some deeper, more nuanced understanding of these things, you are being reductive in an attempt to appear thoughtful, and it’s actually so fucking disrespectful to the victims of these men. I wasn’t even going to write this but my god, how self-righteous and pompous.
