Not true friends. Pain & pleasure are simply viewpoints in relationship to
the individual & their GOAL(s). From a PHYSICAL standpoint, pain & pleasure
are INTERPRETATIONS of "PRESSURE". For instance in sexuality, B & D - S & M
people PERCEIVE "INTENSE PRESSURE" as pleasurable. One can also TRAIN one's
body to have increasing amouts of PRESSURE as, at least NOT painful and
possible as pleasureable.
Also LOVE(ing) can be PAINFUL. My wife is a quadraplegic suffering from many
problems. I perceive PAIN everytime I light her a cigarette & she smokes it. I
have pain every time I have to give her an injection. I FEEL her nausea when
she does. If I didn't love her I would NOT BE attune to these sensations.
