Yup, and I am the poster child for that statement! So grasshopper it's like this, your brain and your body are out of harmony. Your brain, thinking that all it has to do is come up with ideas and direct actions for you to take based on things that make it feel happy tells you that you have not aged, are still immortal, and nothing is impossible. Your body finally succumbs to its inability to achieve those grand ideas and lofty goals and sends pain back to your brain as a way of telling it that actions, not ideas, have consequences. Your brain withdraws and waits for you to heal, sudues the memory of the most recent pain, adds ego to the equation and the cycle repeats itself with your body sending even more severe pain back to your brain again. So in the real world harmony is achieved by learning that you are going to get stung everytime you kick over the beehive or figuring out other ways to destroy that beehive so as not to get stung. Asymetric warfare works. Recognize your limitations and maximize your strengths to achieve realistic goals.
