Replying to Thoughts on pain by Emmett
I hurt my back skiing today...i mean it really hurt. i have a permanently pinched nerve in my lower back that flares up from time to time. bad news bears.
so i was sitting on the lift trying not to move. and i realized..i can make pain go away. Our brains create pain, and yet there are no pain nerve receptors in the brain.
by logical reasoning, if the brain cannot experience pain, then it has no idea what pain feels like. therefore, pain does not actually exist. if you have the mental strength to overcome pain, it will go away. i did it today i swear to god. it was weird. thoughts?
