    Well, as humans we desire. Without pain, without it, we will desire it. We will desire the whole idea of 'emotions' and eventually be nothing.

    On the other hand, pain is an extreme, as is happiness. Therefore, while you suffer from pain you desire to be better, desire to be happy.

    Pain is a win-win. You gain wisdom through experience and have many chances to fight back.

    Trust me I would rather feel pain than not feel at all, I know what both of these things are like and right now I wish I could some pain instead of just being numb.

    Emotions are part of the makeup of the human psyche, without emotions we become robotic in nature and nothing in the world really matters and all we do is exist.

    I would rather feel the pain than not at all. Otherwise what for you live in tis world without feelings. It is as if you are a dead log. In pain, there is a moment in life for you to strive to take that pain out. Pain makes us feel the desire to move on. For after pain, there is pleasure awaiting. Humans when born have with them emotions. We use these emotions to call the attention of our mother. In emotions, we could easily attach to people around us. I beleive this is part of development.

    Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

    I'd rather feel pain. Without pain, how are we to know what happiness and love is? The more pain you experience, the more you appreciate the things most people take for granted. Take one of the most __ emotions like pain and you'll still find beauty. Honestly, I think it's possible to feel emotional pain and still be happy, it's odd, its uncommon but its possible.

    'nothing' is so empty and it would be as if you're taking the easy way out, sure there is less hassle to it but I'm not really looking for a simple way out.

    Pain is apart of life, life is art.

    id just be glad to feel the pain rather than feel like im a robot most of the time, i seriously lack the emotions to be called human because i fail to connect and do what i should do, i am so afraid to love, so afraid to open myself up, i dont trust, and i mostly just either do not care at all or often just care about me that i lose all the meaning, i would rather feel.even if it is pain.

    Honestly I'd rather feel nothing at all. Who wants to feel pain? We have emotions and that is what makes us human.

    too much pain in life leads you to either that side or this side.. it can either make you a better person(kind, giving, godly) but on the other hand, it sure can make you a person with lowered self-esteem leading to the dark side of life.
