Pain don't hurt.

Some people get it, but most don't.

It’s not a movie but it makes me think of this quote from Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running:

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore.’ The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.

I feel this may be the sentiment behind, “Pain don’t hurt.”

Swayze and Murakami, my two muses.
