"The bruises hurt him, the cuts were still bleeding; but it was not for pain that he sobbed; it was because he was all alone, because he had been driven out, alone, into this skeleton world of rocks and moonlight. At the edge of the precipice he sat down. The moon was behind him; he looked down into the black shadow of the mesa, into the black shadow of death" (Huxley 127).
This states that he is not accepted into society, and the hurt of not being accepted saw him looking, '... into the black shadow of death," him being alone and alone is the psychological pain of mental suffering and mental torment.
According to American Psychological Association; Pain in the brain states, "As clever as human beings are, we rely on social groups for survival. We evolved to live in cooperative societies, and for most of human history we depended on those groups for our lives. Like hunger or thirst, our need for acceptance emerged as a mechanism for survival" (APA). “A solitary human being could not have survived during the six million years of human evolution while we were living out there on the African savannah,” Leary says.
Today being accepted in society as an individual helps on the social and mental feeling we depend on to evolve.
