Pain. What is pain? The definition of pain has different meaning for everyone. IE- a woman in a third world country leaves her job- working in the fields- to have a baby. A couple hours later, she's back in the field. Verses an American woman, who decides to inject anesthetics into her spine, in order NOT to feel her CHILD being born. A lot of coping with pain is influenced by culture, along with religion, stereotypes, health, and tolerance.
Of course there is more than one type of pain; physical and mental. Sometimes they work together. If someone is in a car accident and becomes paralyzed in their legs- they may become depressed and cause self injury. "There are those who welcome pain in order to surmount it." (Ackerman, Pain) But there are also those who ignore it with the help of painkillers or meditation. Like stress, a form of mental pain, people are advised to meditate, to become oblivious and reduce both types of pain.
