I don't like pain.

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.

I'm very, very sensitive to pain and to people who suffer.

There is a great deal of pain in life and perhaps the only pain that can be avoided is the pain that comes from trying to avoid pain.

Pain is something that's common to human life. When we ignore it, we aren't engaging in the whole reality, and the pain begins to fester.

The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.

Pain has its reasons, pleasure is totally indifferent.

I was taught that pain is bad.

No one wants pain. Not even long-time, mature Christians who want to grow. We will always find ways to avoid pain. Pain itself is a bad thing.
