King Richard: The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he:
His time is spent; our pilgrimage must be.
So much for that. Now for our Irish wars.

Which live like venom where no venom else
But only they have privilege to live.
King Richard the Second.
By William Shakespeare
Definitions from American Heritage Dictionary

Pain is quite a safety factor. God has created pain as a way to prevent us from repeating an injurious action. For example - if one breaks a leg, pain prevents one from walking on that leg and causing further injury. Pain travels at 350 feet in a second. Pain roughly involves ten billion nerve cells per square inch of skin. Generally, pain will move quicker than one's ability to respond to the pain. For example, one can sometimes burn their hand before the sensation of pain causes them to remove the hand from the hot surface. Book of Oddities - Frank O'Neil |
