(862) Pain Threshold

Physical pain: Women who gave birth naturally without pain relief know high threshold of pain

Emotional pain: Unlike labour pain, this type of pain can be infinite.

A friend mentioned in passing that a divorcee who continued to love her ex-husband suffers pain even eighteen years later. Now this woman has a successful career with well brought up children who are close to her. She contributes to society and does not live below the poverty line.

I suppose everybody has a different pain threshold. Each copes differently with pain. Some are able to overcome and move on. Some may struggle valiantly and merely function well with filling every minute of the day with activities.
