Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker describes pain as a forceful wake-up call, something loud enough to reach people who otherwise ignore quieter signals. Comfort goes unnoticed, but suffering demands attention in a way nothing else can. The metaphor frames hardship as a blunt but effective instrument for getting through to someone.
