HAVE
YOU EVER WONDERED??
Why plants are green?
Why
some people are mean?
Why
dogs became pets?
Why
do we have pain?
Why
do people seem to feel more or less pain than others?
Well
I can at least help with the pain questions.
We
feel pain pain as a signal to avoid injury or more harm. It, like fear is
a protective mechanism. The
differences in perception of pain are mainly related to genetics (protoplasm)
and environment. Like everything else in our lives.
When
I used to circumcise newborn boys we (in a barbaric way) strapped them to a
papoose and proceeded with the mutilation. No anesthetic. Some babies just laid
and slept, others didn't stop crying and everything in-between. Obviously they
felt different amount of pain.
PURE GENETICS (protoplasm) no socialization,
secondary gain in other words no influence from their environment. Family
characteristics and up-bringing will start setting their influence almost
immediately either emotionally and socially reinforcing or mitigating their
personal level of pain perception. Family, social and other ENVIRONMENT issues
will further influence the different perceptions of pain.
