Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:

你必说:人打我,我却未受伤; 人鞭打我,我竟不觉得。 我几时清醒,我仍去寻酒。

nǐ bì shuō : rén dǎ wǒ , wǒ què wèi shòu shāng ; rén biān dǎ wǒ , wǒ jìng bù jué de 。 wǒ jǐ shí qīng xǐng , wǒ réng qù xún jiǔ 。

“They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I will look for more.”
