The wounded and the dead
#18
RE: The wounded and the dead
There is no limit to how much one can feel... absolute pleasure and pain are as unattainable as absolute good and evil... and this is because there IS no limit to pain, pleasure, good, evil, deliciousness, and many other things. Pure pain has no reflection... just as a perfect triangle has no reflection: these things can only exist in the mind.

For emphasis... there is no limit to how much pain you can feel... that some become insensitive to pain is not to make that pain less potent in itself... just as some people become tolerant to poisons does not make those poisons less potent in themselves.

The pain of losing two is twice the dosage of losing one... and some people have become tolerant to this pain... and this means they have undervalued the dosage. So the pain you CAN feel... is limitless. The pain you DO feel... that can be limited.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
