If pain is only a physical reality, then perhaps it is justified to use any means to curtail it. But the soul also expresses itself within pain, and excessive dulling of pain also obscures the soul anf makes access to the spirit impossible. Pain has to do with the nerve processes of the body life processes, and we feel a vitality in the organs of the body… Soul processes are also reflected in the organs of the body and are thus intimately related to the life processes.

     My threshold of pain is very low. The text by Robert Sardello has some truth in it though so I chose to publish it. It has shocked me; I reserve my comments for another essay in the near future.
