Answer 1

Letting down the one you love.

Answer 2

Universally, pain is a sense of discomfort, either from due to a physical cause or an emotional response to something. It can be a slight discomfort from a mosquito sting or to the extreme pain from a dog's bite. It could also represent the emotional discomfort one feels from a broken heart or the loss of a loved one.

Answer 3

Pain is an unpleasant sensation, ranging in intensity from slight through severe to indescribable. Pain is experienced as having qualities such as sharp, throbbing, dull, nauseating, burning and shooting.

Pain can be experienced in response to both external perceived events, i.e. seeing something, or internal cognitive events, i.e. felt tightness in an amputated limb, and can sometimes follow from nociception (synonyms; nociperception, "physiological pain").

Pain often has both an emotional quality and a sensed bodily location. In plain words; you feel bad, and your body hurts somewhere, when you experience pain. This subjective reality of the localization of pain to an area of the body is the basis for terms and phrases such as pain receptor, neck pain, referred pain, cutaneous pain, and "pain in my foot". This usage of "pain" is often inconsistent with pain being a subjective experience and occurs frequently in much communication on this subject and contrasts to the definition given below.

Answer 4

torture, misery, torment. Pain, ache, agony, anguish are terms for sensations causing suffering or torment. Pain and ache usually refer to physical sensations (except heartache); agony and anguish may be physical or mental. Pain suggests a sudden sharp twinge: a pain in one's ankle. Ache applies to a continuous pain, whether acute or dull: headache; muscular aches. Agony implies a continuous, excruciating, scarcely endurable pain: in agony from a wound. Anguish suggests not only extreme and long-continued pain, but also a feeling of despair.

Answer 5

An interesting question! In attempting to define it , it fades. I don't know if it works in the face of excruciating pain or not, but in seeking to define the exact nature of the pain, it is reduced in its intensity.

Answer 6

"Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding." -- Kahlil Gibran
