What effect can you imagine a life almost completely free of pain might have on people?

It would be a wonderful world if physical pain could be eliminated, but pain is so much more than physical. Painful experiences build character, they make us stronger people, they make us the people we are. Feeling pain (emotional or physical) helps us to learn how to empathize with others...... it's a part of love and community. It brings people together, and it tears them apart. For all of the hurt..... I think the world without it would make us a very uncaring people.
