I was lying in the existential dental chair, and the Dentist leaned in. "Feeling pain?", It asked me. I nodded, with appropriately weary resignation. "More numb?", asked the Dentist. Oh yes, I nodded: More Numb. As numb as possible.
Odd that the Dentist, who inflicts the pain to heal the ills that we have visited upon ourselves, also offers us cessation of sensation. We can do harm to ourselves, and request insulation from the pain that comes with self-awareness! Sweet!
