  • It's a coping mechanism. A way to make sense of the world we live in.

    Physical pain serves a function. If you hurt, it's your body's way of telling you something is wrong.

    But pain is not the same as suffering. A woman in labor may go through pain, but that does not mean she suffers.

    Does it seve a greater purpose? If you attach meaning to it, sure. But you can't attach meaning to it for someone else.
