And I know this sounds strange to "fish who know only water", but we live in a body-centric, sensory-centric culture and world. Its all about making the body happy. Some other frameworks have prevailed through history, where amongst others, the body is seen as something to be endured, but to be liberated from. Pain and bodily disintegration are seen in a whole different light.
