The wounded and the dead

[Edwardo Piet]

[...] Absolute pain and absolute pleasure are unattainable as more than an idea.

Maximum horror is only an idea... there is no limit to how much pain you can feel...

(My bolding emphasis).

Contradiction there. I agree with the first one. We are finite beings. My point is that if the first loss is basically an overload then it's perhaps impossible to feel double that for the second loss. If you could feel double it then the first loss couldn't be overload or so close to it. I agree that absolute pain and pleasure are unattainable, and once they get overloaded so much that you go crazy or can't cope, it's hard to have double that. Sometimes perhaps it can be double, but sometimes I think it's too close to the limit to be double.

Indeed maximum horror is only an idea, and that's why the first loss can feel so limitless, seem so limitless and be overload that the 2nd loss perhaps can't be double that, because the first loss was so unimaginably big. However, despite the fact it seems to be infinite pain or horror, that it seems limitless, it indeed can't be.

So do you believe there is a limit to how much pain or pleasure you can feel or not?

In the first quote you say that absolute pain and pleasure are unattainable, but then in the second quote you say that there is no limit to pain.
