A moment’s drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the needle that deadens the nerves around the tooth.
Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves and our brain, we wouldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitive. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture（酷刑）is based on the human body being open to pain.
