Pain is warning signal The best explanation I’ve seen to simplify how pain works comes from Adriaan Louw in his book Therapeutic Neuroscience Education and.14 Louw compares how pain works in your body and brain to a burglar alarm in your house. If someone tries to break into your house, the alarm goes off. The alarm warns you of danger. Pain works the same way. It warns you that something MAY be dangerous or threatening.
All Gain, No Pain
Bill Hartman
“I think as one grows older, one is appallingly exposed to wearing life instead of living it. Habit, physical deterioration and a slower digestion of our experiences, all tend to make one look on one’s dear life as a garment, a dressing gown, a raincoat, a uniform, buttoned on with recurrent daily (tasks)….for myself I found one remedy, and that is to undertake something difficult, something new, to re-root myself in my own true faculties….for in such moments, life is not just a thing one wears, it is a thing one does and is.” —WILLIAM MAXWELL’S “THE LETTERS OF SYLVIA TOWNSEND WARNER”
