the importance of pain

[karoaper]

This thread probably belongs in the philosophy forum, but that forum is monopolized by Ara. So if the mods feel they need to they can move there.

So what's the idea? Well I had kidney stones last year and it was the worst pain I ever had, the kind that there's no escape from. It lasted a week but on Saturday morning when it went away, I had such a natural high the whole weekend, I can't describe it.

Life was so beautiful. Colors were brighter and food tasted better. I accomplished more things than I had in 2 weeks (before stones).

So I had this idea that it would be actually a good idea to wake up in the morning with excruciating pain for about 20 mins. Then, the pain would go away the day would blossom into a pure euphoria. Of course our bodies would get used it and the post-pain euphoria would wane in strenth with time.

I'm halfway joking of course, but your thoughts on it and pain in general?

My thoughts are that Ara should be in the humor section.

Why do you have to be in pain for 20min each day to be able to enjoy the rest of the day? You should just enjoy every day as it is Today, I took nice walk to the beach and feel very refreshed. Go for a walk Karen jan it will do you some good by the way glad you are not in pain any more

If you can't enjoy your day without pain, you could always hit your head on the brick wall each morning

Well, i think the same goes for other subjects as well....for example...Would we truely have feelings of happiness if we didnt know what sorrow felt like? or in this case how would we ever know pleasure, if we did not know pain?

I think that if we never go through that pain...and hardship, and we always have it good, fine, and dandy, then we will not be able to truely grasp that appreciation...if you will...then there is no comparison...that is why for every ying there is a yang.

That's kinda my thought. Sometimes we forget that just to spend the day without some serious pain or debilitations is a true blessing. I mean after my experience I really understood how my friend who has a chronic headache feels. I mean I'm so lucky not to have pain full time. The same goes when you have a close-to-death experience, you realise just how precious life is.

Thanks kiank. I was kidding. I'm not a mazo, but I think it's an interesting premise. Maybe I'll write a screenplay about it, as I'm lounging on the beach in Hawaii. Anyways, I'm off to put a nail into my ancle. Be back when I'm feeling SUPER.
