Pain is a complex experience.

It's made out of physiological and psychological factors, so things that come from your body, the way it works, and then how you react to it.

It's very unfortunate that we are less sympathetic to conditions that we don't understand.

So if you see somebody walking and they fall and they break a leg or they have like a cut or something, you can understand that pain, you can relate to that pain, and then people tend to be more sympathetic.
