Pressure
1. On a smooth surface
Say your 120lbs. body weight is acting over the whole area of both your feet ( 40 sq, in. say) , this gives 120 / 40 = 3 psi pressure.
2. Standing on gravel
Your body weight is resting on a much smaller sum area ( the peaks of the gravel stones) resulting in a painful higher pressure

What would happen if people couldn't feel any pain?
Well, some people can't! It's a disease, but I can't remember the name of it... If people couldn't feel pain, we would die very quickly! We wouldnt know that fire could kill us, we wouldn't know that when you had a cut that it hurt so you wouldn't try to cover it with your hand or put a bandaid on it and it would get infected, when you can't breath it hurts some people so we could suffocate, if someone was punching you you wouldnt cover the hit and could possibly die from repeated hits. You need to feel pain physically! Now emotionally: I don't think there's a disease for not having emotion, but IDK, anyway, people would never learn... If you didn't have the pain of rejection you would never feel to try harder, if you never felt pain of someone dying how would could you love them if there was no sorrow for them? In conclusion-we need pain in our lives even though it sucks we need it as much as love...
