It seems that if you sit a lot, your blood vessels and nerves will thicken to some extent, making your legs less likely to get numb. But there is a limit to that, and it actually makes me numb.
But I get used to being numb. At first I was like, “Wow, that hurts! I don't like it anymore why do I have to be made to do this ahhhh!!!” What I think is, “Ahhh... it hurts. yeah, it hurts. Well, that's always the case.” It's like that.
Also, I get used to it and empirically know how numb I need to be to walk, and how long I can walk with a fine face even when I'm numb, so I adjust it. The monk knows how long it will take for the memorial service to finish.
I don't force myself to walk when the teacher talks for an unexpectedly long time and says, “Oh, that's impossible.” You shouldn't get hurt, and everyone is numb at times like that, so if you don't stand on good terms with everyone, the atmosphere may be better lol but speaking of that, the recovery speed at such times is also much faster than when you were a novice. I wonder if my blood vessels and nerves are getting thicker and my legs are less likely to get numb.
