Pain

um.. come to think of it.. it's painful.. ouch!
what would i think about this word..? uncomfortable? not cosy? something cursed? sad? makes my day in shadow or cloudy?

lets see about this fellow:
I was doing the house chores when suddenly, my mum cried, "My goodness, what happen to your foot?? It's bleeding!" I didn't realise there was a piece of glass, stabbed right under my right sole. I couldn't tell it hurt because I didn't felt any - not that I'm trying to be tough, but truthfully, I felt nothing.

Let's see about another fellow:
"This backache killing me, doc," said Mrs A to her physician. "I still can tolerate it at first since it troubles me only while I'm in blues. But these days, the pain even came to me while I'm sleeping, " she continues..

I purposely created these simple story though, & i presume, anyone who read these can made up with a (maybe few, maybe lots) conclusion(s). This is mine..
Eventhough pain at first was labelled as something curseful, but it actually helps a lots. Not only physically protect the body from physical danger, but it does protect mentally. 


Mentally?
I bet most people do experienced painful memories. Depends on how they think, painful memories can help them grow, or can destroy their growth.
Easy example for this is the military lifestyle - every morning there'll be a morning inspection (sorry i dunno the military slang for this one), then, every second, if there's a slight mistake, it is not possible to get a kind-a-weird punishment. Those punishments actually to remind them  not to repeat the same mistakes again.


where does pain come from?
technically, it is generated from nerve situated nearby the body part that exposed to threat/danger. The nerve, known as sensoric nerve, send signals to the nearby HQ, known as spinal cord (the one with H shape), by afferent nerve (the one in red line).

From the H shape quarters (it is known as the grey matter), the signals then relayed to another neurons at that part, known as the interneuron (red colored,it is in the H shape area). Interneuron passed the signal received from the sensory nerve to another nerve in the H area, but on the different side. Then, the signal will be brought to the main HQ, which is at the brain, to be interpreted as pain. The info received then interpret into feelings, & probably movement of body parts (mouth for cursing, legs & hands to avoid the pain source, heart to beat faster, etc).
(oh,my.. lecture's starting..)


Pain not only came from the outside, but also can be created in body. Stomachache is a good example. It can be created not only because it is not filled with food, but also when the owner is damsel-in-distress. 
It this kind of situation, painkillers does not help at all as long as there's is stress. Not many know this kind of situation, & even consumed more & higher doses of painkillers.
At this rate, families' & friends' supports are in need to substitute painkillers. 


Roughly to sketch, 'be friend with pain'.


...maybe that's all for now...?
