Pain

Ouch! I spilt boiling water over my hand today. Clumsy Ray. My hand's fine now, but it does make me wonder, why pain is so important to us. As the skin cells on my hand were reacting and some mostly being dissolving over their boiling points, I did wonder, what it would life feel like if we didn't know pain. Would we run ourselves till we eventually realise, oh... i've lost an arm and leg, woops, and then drop off due to our bodies running out of resources to maintain our system.

Would we still feel mental pain like broken love or losing a favourite item? Pain is a reaction that causes us to react, and without pain, is it the same?

Just a thought.

This is disturbing similar to the conversation 2 years ago ...

-Flashback-

Ray: If people can't feel pain, are they like, invincible?
Emily & Flora: o.O?!

- End Flashback -

Hope your hand gets better ^.^

TDOMJ here. If you can't feel pain you'll die without knowing what happened!

True. That's one good reason why pain is important. But pain also causes wimpiness at the early stage, doesn't it?

i think pain is mostly to tell whether ur a zombie or not... those who don't feel pain are probably non human

Very true. Pain is what differentiates us. But what about animals and sea creatures? They feel pain too...
Maybe we can correct the definition to one that don't feel pain is one who doesn't have a mind and essence to feel in this world. Maybe?
