I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Bullet-ant gloves. My god, the entirety of jackass has been surpassed after just one usage. And they do it 20 times. That's 200 minutes of nonstop bullet-ant stinging. These people are the real fucking bene gesserit.
I know its an ancient ritual and all, but you have to think...who thought this was a good idea in the first place and why didn't anyone have the decency to talk them out of it?
