You can. Use a plane. But seriously, people have filters on their senses, which they can control. They can be impervious to mere words.
Physical pain is real. Wait, no, it just feels real.
Correct, physical pain is also just a sensation. Your mind can shut off pain when it wants/needs to. In the same way that breathing is automatically controlled by your unconscious mind and yet you can override it with your conscious mind, pain is normally controlled by your unconscious mind and you can override it with your conscious mind. And emotional pain is even easier to override as it's not generating chemicals in the brain to deal with.
