am i insensitive to pain?
I met a friend today ,who pointed out, that maybe, I don’t feel the pain of people around me. Is this true?
For me, pain has a definite definition, and I dare not go beyond those few words. i’m not allowed to.. pain also has a character, and a duration. It has a stimulus and depends upon a person's threshold. I can differentiate it accordingly..
During my first year, I came to know pain by pricking my own finger and using my own blood for different experiments , no doubt, at that time I along with my classmates found it a romantic venture.
I felt the pain of 35 y.r. old man who lied on the operation table , when my professor with her natural artistic style held the blade close to his umbilicus and gave an incision. I felt the pain as his intestine was popped out on the table. My god, I knew, I ‘ll faint, So, I looked at my professor. Her face was calm and her mind serene, and her hands steady.
I feel pain. I feel it in altogether different characters and senses all through the day. it could be anything. A lancinating pain of neuralgia, or the pain of a tumor. The pain of a pulpitis, or the pain of a fracture.
I can feel the emotional pain attached to physical ones. I know the pain of a 24 yr. old lady, who has to get her jaw resected,. And the pain of a father, whose 10 yr old son had a malignant tumor.
It’s just that I ve conditioned my mind , and I know if I become sensitive to this pain, I won’t be able to carry on with my duty. It has become an integral part of my life.
I see it, I measure its character, work out it’s location. I fight it, with all the analgesics and anesthetics modern medicine has provided, and it relieves……..
I feel pain…. ……………
maybe not. There is some kind of pain that doesn’t follow the pursuit. it has no particular location, no physical stimulus, rather it gives a feeling of hollowness, a feeling of something lost………. A pain which slows down that musical rhythm of ur heart. Maybe, that’s why it’s termed heart ache.
Yes, there is no mention of this pain in my books, no definition has been assigned to it,
But, it is still there. Every now and then, each one of us goes through it. u can neither understand its character, nor its manner. But, it is there and has survived all analgesics.
U bear it, u get out of it. that’s the way it is handled.
And, in case, u want to relieve it……………….
Give ur pleasant and charming smile to all those who are around you, and try to understand their slowed heart rhythms.

Malti....reading ur thoughts on pain has given me the reason to share some things with u. U r right there is pain around us, in different forms, everybody has it, but the way people react to it is not understandable to many.
Yes, people do have many kind of pain but they react it differently and that's what differentiates them from each other. But behind every pain there is some kind of disappointment, there is some hope, there is expectations...and most of the pain is due to this expectaions..
Expectations touch the sky and when they are not met...people feel disappointed, they feel pain, and then they run around to find the medicine....to cure it...
Someone has rightly said...Prevention is better than cure....why don't people try it...I mean lessen down ur expectations and u will see that ur pain has lessened...infact in most of the cases it ceases to exist....my advice...try it..experiment it....u will love it in the long run....
