An Ancient, an actor named Mario Walter Lippert, said that no one on Earth can hurt you unless you accept it in your own mind. As I lay on the operating table, covered with sterile cloth, dozens of hands fluttering on and inside my body, I was drawn to Lippert and what a bloody idiot he'd been.
But maybe I should give the poor guy a break. He did say: no one on Earth.
