Pain

Emotional pain is more damaging.

Physical pain can be shut out by your mind. It's why people can lie on hot coals or lie on a bed of nails. It's why we have pain thresholds.

But you can't do that with emotional pain because the first thing it attacks and disables is your ability to block it. You can't just say...Oh never mind, ha ha...because emotional pain attacks your emotions so you can't control them.

When I saw this challenge I wrote something, which I then realised wasn't suitable for the challenge.

It is here:
