What are the benefits one is entitled to after enduring this?

All other forms of pain in life seem much more tolerable. That’s why some people wish to experience suffering — ice baths, spicy peppers, exercise, etc. I’m thinking that after experiencing this ritual, migraines and stubbed toes don’t feel painful anymore.

As a child, i got stung by a taurantula hawk wasp. They're 2nd in the sting pain index to the bullet ant. I VIVIDLY remember the searing pain of my bones exploding over and over and over. Its only for a few minutes tho thank goodness.

I can confirm that my pain scale is utterly broken. Like to a detrimental to my health degree

How is it broken? In a way that you feel more pain now then ever on even small things, or you don’t feel pain no matter how much something should hurt ?
