Feel the Pain

This article talks about how people react when they are/feel excluded. Certain people have different coping mechanisms for this and reasons why they are hurt by being excluded. The authors in this article go in depth as to what factors could lead people to having a lower sense of fear that people get from exclusion and the psychology behind it all.

In the previous paper, the journey from the nerves, to the spinal cord, and lastly to the brain was discussed. Information was sent through a multitude of action potentials from the afferent neuron to the 2nd-order neuron…

measure ourselves and how we feel, fail to understand the concept of life itself. The tears of joy felt by a mother; the symphony of silence held by a survivor; the loudness of a murmur spoken as a prayer. Life is a composition, led by a melody, woven piece by piece, tied by our hopes and colored by our sorrows. Like darkness is the absence of light, pain is measured by the absence of happiness. Throughout the essay, “The Pain Scale” by Eula Biss, she attempts to give her pain some logical…

childhood, of being told, ‘if you punch yourself and don’t feel pain then you’re sleeping’. But what if you pinch yourself and feel it; “...pain can be found in dreams and, thus, the saying that pitching with pain indicates that you are not dreaming is falsified,” (Schredl, 2011).

is never noticed, it is invisible. The change induced by art could be internal or external. Often, it is a strong internal change that leads to the external, which is why the former could be the most powerful.
