It’s often some of my worst days are the best days […] Because it takes you, takes you out to the edge of your experience, and to the edge of human experience, and that, that’s a great place to be. So, you know, often we’ve had epic struggles for survival or totally epic days and they’re the best days. They bring out the best in you.

Putting yourself into a secure controlled environment may lead to a lack of of life and being alive. I recommend to rather feel pain than feeling nothing at all.
