Summary

This quote emphasizes the consequences of suppressing one's pain in the short term. It suggests that avoiding or suppressing the pain might provide temporary relief, but ultimately it will have a detrimental effect once the pain is acknowledged and experienced fully. By numbing the pain, one merely postpones the need for healing and potential growth, leading to an intensified emotional or psychological impact when the pain resurfaces. Thus, the quote highlights the importance of addressing and confronting pain when it arises rather than attempting to escape or avoid it.
