How do you define pain?

Our body feels pain to warn us of danger. But it also reminds us that we are alive. That we can still feel, that is why some of us seek it out. While others choose to numb it.

Solitude has always been my analgesic of choice.

But what if feeling nothing is the worst pain of all.

What if the sharing of pain connects us to others? And reminds us that none of us is alone. As long as we CAN feel.
