pain is considered by some to be a negative thing. dude's puting a positive spin on it for all the none masochists out there, albiet, kinda lamely. i mean, if your having trouble telling if you are still alive, how crappy is your quality of life, eh? wakeup gramps! here, enjoy this life affirming tity twister! so, thumbs down to dan. guess that's why he's a wrestler and not a philosopher.

I do not feel anything regarding questions, but I can express my opinion based upon facts and logic, therefore it seems that this individual of whom made this particular quote is perhaps a typical moron that gets off on pain, so to speak, however certain types of pain do indeed inform us of a particular problem that is occurring within the inner or outer area of our body, or mind...

It makes me think. I realize that I'm glad to be alive even if it means that pain is one of those vital signs to find if I still have my senses.

Same as "There's a silver lining in every cloud." This is being an optimist.

It seems pessimistic, but it's the most optimistic thing I've ever heard.

It shows that you can find something good, even in the worst situation.

That's true but its main reason is to tell you something needs fixing.
