Points: Injury, its effect — Insult, its effect — Comparison.
An injury means a damage to the body or its limbs. When a person is hurt physically, he is injured, and every injury is painful. If the injury is heavy, it takes a long time to recover from, and may entail heavy expenditure, too.
While quarrelling, people often come to clashes or blows. These may cause bleeding injuries, fractures etc. Family feuds, vendetta or riots between rival groups often lead to bloodshed and bodily damages. Punishment for misdeeds also takes the form of inflicting physical torture or pain. It is supposed that the heavier the injury the longer its effect.
An insult, on the other hand, is an onslaught on the mind. It seeks to damage the opponent’s reputation. Insult is a public humiliation in the form of taunts, abuses and defamations. When Othello felt humiliated, he cried out, “My reputation, Iago, my reputation.” He believed that when a man’s reputation is gone, everything is gone.
As soon as physical pain is gone its memory, tool begins to evaporate. But when insult is inflicted upon a person, he begins to think of retaliation. The thought of retaliation never allows the memory of insult to die. It nurses the bad thought and keeps the burning sensation of shame alive. Bodily pain subsides hut the prick of insult accelerates itself”.
