Pain Threshold

How much pain can u take???
i hit my head once, it was so bad that it bleed... and 7 stitches was needed to stop the bleeding... but i didnt cry....
but there was this story that my mom told me... it was about my childhood... she would hide my toy and tell me that it went away... then i'll cry, but when she brings it back in front of me, i would stop... she told me this when i was already in college... or at least during that time i was listening to her... and i realize than missing someone is more painful than being hit in the head... adrenaline can stop the pain i felt when i cut my head, but it cant stop my heart from aching if i miss or lose someone... then i drew up a stupid conclusion...

emotional pain is harder to handle than physical pain... coz emotions are handle by the heart... and pain is controlled by our brain...
so if we attached are emotions to our brain, then it can handle the pain we feel if our heart breaks... but this means we have to use our head to fall in love... and have anyone tried this? well if u did, leave a comment, and tell how it went...

this isn't biology or neurologist... just simple logic... :)

i did.
================================

i believe physical pain hits only the body. and with that, your brain still has control over how you react to it. but when your heart breaks, pain hits your soul. it hurts who you are deep within.
(mao mas lisud icontrol ang sakit even though literally naa ra jud na sa brain tanan kay ang heart mupump ra ug blood.. hahhaha)

anywayanyway, nawa nako sa akotopic!!!! grrrrrr...

i did use my head once to love..
(consciously as in dili raging hormones ang gaunauna... ug dili pud subconsciously... i just decided to love that person one day.)

it was like every other love. you play the roles and responsibilities of the one who loves, and you enjoy all the benefits of the one being loved.

happiness is relative. if you can content yourself with that, then it works out.

when you get your heart broken by that person, it hurts just the same i guess. (in my case, it didn't hurt as much because i already knew better.. i showed loved as much as i could, but in the deepest part of me, i didn't really "feel" as much as i should.. dili man mahelp beh... love just doesn't come as easy when you've had your heart broken. ^^)

ambot wa koy sense. nevermind.

lets see...

science and faith(religion)... kase meh soul na nga gimention... :) ug meh pump sa blood... hihi....

maybe... our soul is located in our heart?? just maybe... coz... the last time i got really hurt from falling in love... the place where my heart is supposed to be, was aching badly... i was like grasping it... like a needle was left inside my heart... and its hurting... but that's just me...


there is this contradicting statement that u made... "i did use my head once to love.." :)
is our brain capable of loving? can our head tell us that we're in love? (question na sya tanan ha...)

sa last part la nako nakasabot... hahahaha... peace!

hihi... probably its harder to trust someone when u failed once before... thats how our mind think.... but our heart(or should i say soul) maybe has a different idea on this... :)

in the end... a balance of heart and brain should do the trick... and compromise is something u need to develop for u to learn it... :)

i thought you meant to ask if i ever just decided with a simple choice, without all the difficulty, that "this person is who i'm going to love..."

i said i did. and it was like every other love. and blahblah padung sa last part. :) and i thought you meant to ask, na if we do love and use our head to do so, then does it hurt just the same, or can our brains handle the pain in case it ends? and i said i guess it hurts just as much.. :)

hahaha... forgot to point out that part... pero nabasa to nako... :) so wala jud na control sa atong adrenaline ang pain sa love bisan nglove na ta using our brain??
