How have suffering and hardship shaped you as a person?
when we had to pull together to make it through, it drew my wife and I much closer together. we have also developed empathy for others that are going through the same thing. It has also increased my faith, that no matter what I am going through God is always there, and will bring me through it.
A question about the mind's perception of pain and pleasure?
Is it possible to reroute the brain to feel pain as pleasure and pleasure as pain (not that a person would want to--I'm just curious if it has been done) Could a person successfully reverse these sensations? OR better yet, to release the identity with either one as pain or pleasure?...I mean, to break the bond with my definition of either one as anything more than just a passing sensation that only my mind deems note-worthy...not me. Isn't pleasure ultimately just as painful as pain because without one you can't have the other? What if a person is growing tired of not just pain, but pleasure also? How do I grow to see and accept that pleasure is really pain disguised in all areas of my life? But if a person lets go of both...what is life like beyond pain and pleasure? Without the constant running from pain and running toward pleasure...what is it exactly in between that, that peaceful and beautiful place that I have been fortunate just to glimpse? I know it is there, and I want to find that place permanently...so what do I have to do? I am tired of reading...I feel like I am all burned out seeking more and more information...it was all beautiful what I have read, it is just not working. Although, I will probably keep on reading because nothing else seems to come as close to helping as that. I am not able to find any answers meditating because my mind always wanders. ? I feel like I need a map. I get little clues, but never a map... :)

How to describe pain? (In a story?)?
All of a sudden I felt an intense piercing pain shooting up my neck, The world seems in hyperdrive as adrenaline pulsates through my veins with loud booms, every sound is magnified to a countless number. I couldn't breathe, my vision clouding.. There are coloured shapes flashing above my face as my attacker stares at me with cold-blooded eyes, not a flinch of guilt passes those cold grey eyes, I almost see the twisted pleasure radiating off his skin. The pain is making me gasp and stagger for breaths I cannot catch. As I stumble backwards,the knife is dragged down my neck and out of my body.. I feel as if a million tiny insects and burning irons are scalding my neck, pulsating across my body in waves of intense agony. Crimson liquids start to flood my lungs and I start to choke, time slows down to a snails pace as I gasp for my last words that never came...
Is it scientifically possible to shapeshift?
Absolutely not. One cannot add or remove mass that is not there. Body alteration is possible and happens everyday. But gradually. To change one's shape from one creature to another takes place in metamorphosis, but the resulting final creature cannot have more mass than what was started with and can often end up with less. Moreover, metamorphosis usually takes several months. Tadpoles also change shapes, but do not gain more mass than is possible through normal body functions as they change into frogs. You do not get a two pound frog from a one ounce tadpole. A six foot man cannot change into a smaller or larger animal. Moreover, such rapid changes, as depicted in films, would be so painful that the change would most likely kill an individual from the shock alone. There is one way a "shapeshifter" could operate. That would mean having their spirit leave their body and enter into the body of another creature. More or less taking over that other creature's body. While their own lay asleep in a protected location. Then the size of the creature would not matter as spirit does not have size, mass, gravity or any other physical attribute. Moreover, no pain would be associated either. Although the spirit in control would still feel all that the creature it was inside also felt.
What are some interesting ways that someone's experiences can shape their behavior?
I found quite a few that I thought were quite interesting:People who never or always get what they want are usually selfish, or acquiescent.People were abused physically daily will lack the feeling of emotional pain when they get older. They may be more or less brave than someone who doesn’t experience this.People who are often controlled and abused emotionally will often be sociopaths, or narcissists.People who hang around a certain ethical group are more or less likely to become racist, based upon how they view them.People who are often too damaged or too brainy conditioned by pain by an evil person are more likely to be psychopaths.People who are too criticized are more likely to become narcissists.People who watch a lot of violent movies when they are younger are more likely to be not bothered by much of it. Those who rarely watch them will be extremely bothered by them.Hope this helped! :)
How painful are rib tattoos?
"How much does it hurt?" This question is easily the most asked in every tattoo shop. You will hear a number of answers but this is such a hard question to answer as every person is very different. The easy answer is that all tattoos hurt. All of them. Some not as much as others. Some people get tattooed as a means of "pain therapy" so it's a welcomed experience.Tattoos on the ribs are typically one of the more tender areas that people regularly get tattooed. I've worked in tattoo shops for over a decade and I can tell you that all shapes and sizes and colors of people get that area tattooed and most sit a lot better than they think they will. Small word tattoos always get finished. If it's a large multi-session piece, they reach a good stopping point before calling it a day. An average session on an arm for me is 4-6 hours, whereas 2-3 hours on the ribs. It just hurts more, but your body will make it. Some people will sleep through, but they are the rarities. Some will complain about it tickling. Outside of how your body is naturally wired for pain, the tattooer is a big factor is how much a tattoo will hurt. Some tattoo artists are just "heavy handed". This doesn't necessarily make them any better or worse, it's just how they tattoo."It's better than being hit by a bus" is my typical response to a client who asks.
How do I forget my past life mistakes or pain?
Sit back, don’t talk about it, keep regretting it, make it more miserable, lie about it : to yourself, to others, focus more on why you did it and what other things lead it to happen, how it was your fault and how it was not defnitely yours, and a thousand more options like this orYou could just not do these.Firstly you should make it clear to yourself, that you’re gonna Confront it.Find someone to confiden in , if you can. You always have that one person whom you can open up to anything and anytime . Your dad, mom, bestfriend or maybe an online friend. It’s okay if you can’t find someoneYour first step towards solution is realization. You need to accept that you are responsible for what happened, that it was your mistake or maybe it wasn’t. Just don’t loiter around , running away from the accountability!Be as truthful about it as you can, to yourself atleast. You don’t need to panic now, because it’s over, it’s done in the past.Stop being the fault finder. You got to learn to let go! The deal is done now, you can’t undo it or you would not be here, searching for an answer!Life is short, you have only one shot. Get over it already, would you! Find happiness or a reason to happiness in other dimensions! You see the problem with guilt and regrets is they can only feed when you’re alone, in dark or depressed! So just light up your magic wand and shout out: Expecto Patronum!Do you really need something after Expecto Patronum? You see, i just asked you to believe in magic! If you can’t see an Amulet(lucky charm) by now, go to your washroom and look into a mirror!
