So is getting kicked in the bollocks but it doesn't stop it happening. Fear and pain are as much a part of life as birth and death, pleasure and sadness, or vodka and Red Bull. Get used to it, get over yourself and join the human race.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
