Without Pain

What would you do with your life if you were no longer able to feel pain? You wake up one morning, and all harsh sensations relating to pain were no longer something for you to worry about. Would you live your life fearing that you've just hurt yourself and didn't know it, or would you go all...



..on everyone?

Oh I would go rock climbing, take fighting classes, learn to sword fight, and so many other things. These were just off the top of my head.

Damn straight. But I would go around with a Katana and not some wimpy batons. <3

Do nothing out of the ordinary because I'm not a total moron.

Feeling no pain =/= being able to get hurt

You don't get superpowers. Live life as normal.

Who said anything about superpowers? ._.

Of course you're going to get hurt. That's why I'd be afraid of ending up like JD from scrubs - Having waffle foot after stepping on the waffle iron.

Yes, I keep a lot of things on the floor in my house. Sue me.

I didn't mean like Superman superpowers. But it's not like you'd be able to do anything you couldn't do before.

I dunno man~ I think I'd be able to take a stabbing to the gut and keep on going. This would be like living on morphine every minute of your life. :D

Well this would suck because you could bleed to death and not even know your bleeding at all. Die from something accidental. Then again you'd probably realize you were bleeding before any serious damage happens.

I'd go through life normally. However you could possibly workout easier, have better stamina because you won't feel your legs and arms getting tired, and starting to burn, so i guess there are pros and cons.

And then probably destroy your muscles from working them too hard because you won't know when to stop. Honestly, I don't think I would do much differently, though it would be really nice not to feel sore in the morning.

If I could have this, I would get into boxing.

I'd be very careful if I had that. I think that this is an actual disorder so imagine burning your skin to a crisp because you havent realised that are being burned.

Exercise.

Without pain you don't really have an excuse not to.

I believe never feeling pain is actually the greatest kind of pain any human being can experience whether they find it as a good thing or possibly something anybody would regret. Let's say for example that I enjoyed never feeling any form of pain again; in some cases, some people would probably say in words of my US History teacher, "You are one tough son of a buck," but let us not forget that every good thing always has a bad side effect. The side effect being is actually never feeling pain again. For example on that predicament, someone would never feel pain to a friend's, family member's, or someone close to him/her's passing, and I could go on with several more reasons. Personally, I find pain a blessing to feel pain because we can fight to not feel it as much the next time it happens. Of course if it was different, then it would be a different method of fighting it, and that's pretty much self-explanatory from there on out.

I could do without it sometimes.

Like when your stomach starts kicking your butt?

Not that kind of pain.

As in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_insensitivity_to_pain

The first two sentences of Derek's post made me type all of that. xD If my assumption was wrong, then I'm sorry I misread it, but still. :P

Oh my, maybe I'm wrong then D:

Eh, we're only human. Our minds make us perceive different things. xD
