Understood and agreed. Within reason. But also often people's first response to pain at whatever level is to try to kill it without first trying to understand

Pain is incentive to change what is happening. We need it. Otherwise we wind up even worse off.

I don't like going to the doctor and I usually won't unless something really hurts. I don't know many people who enjoy doctor visits. I suspect it's inline with dentist visits.
- hycaria 9y agoI can assure you, your behavior is not universal in that domain.
- taeric 9y agoAgreed, also within reason. :) I do note that opioids seem to be a particularly bad form of pain medication. You may start them to just fight some pain, but there are good chances you will get addicted. So, often it started to manage truly high levels of pain, but continues past necessity. Similarly to most recreational risk taking of any kind. Social natures will move people beyond most risk heavy habits. This includes drugs. Addiction does exist, but it is not as simple as "this person is addicted."
