Agreed!
(as you know, I was only making a distinction between the Injurious variety of pain)
It seems our American culture is phobic of pain, and entirely Over-medicated.

Humans seek comfort.
The human psyche and its actions can be broken down to Two simple factors
> Pain avoidance
> Pleasure
Its about as simple as I can break down the Psychology of humans.

Drugs are all about pain avoidance: whether Drugs and Alcohol to avoid emotional and/or physical pain, to a Hospital/Doctors setting where medications and drips are administered.
There ARE a some exceptions when Pain Should be medicated. One being War, when serious injury requires Morphine to prevent Shock

Pain strengthens the Spirit. Pain toughens the resolve!
BUT IT HURTS!!!
