Mr Perlman says to his son, Elio:
In my place, most parents would hope the whole thing goes away. Pray their sons land on their feet, but I am not such a parent. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we go bankrupt by the age of 30. And have less to offer, each time we start with someone new. But to make
yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything.
what is the meaning of "yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything"?
