To me, the function of pain is to say, “Hey, listen up. Pay attention. You are doing something that is not in your best interest.” Then we start to say, “Oh, I have a different choice. I can do this instead of that,” and then it comes out of your own experience, not because some authority fgure told you.
Does he mean that the pain should force/encourage us to say to ourselves: "Hey listen up ... "?
