Making us all lepers to some extent in this society where we are made numb to violence in all it's forms.  Please pardon me, list, for spelling out what Jody said far more eloquently.

Dear Jody and all Sangha, I learned a lesson about pain from lepers.  I found out the reason they have such deformities and damage to limbs is because of the numbness that is a symptom of the disease.  As a result of lack of feeling, they do things that harm themselves and persist in the harmful behavior.  They don't take steps to heal properly.  They become less able to take care of themselves and others.
