The Problem of Pain
...mankind is weak and frail when pain confronts them. It doesn't matter whether our little finger is cut, or we have to endure the agony of an aggressive cancer, we will always dislike pain.
Pain therefore reminds us that our lives are frail and much of it is beyond our control.
From an essay written by a student of mine

As C S Lewis said on the 'benefit' of pain which 'brings us down to earlth' and ofcourse it points to the nature of a physical problem, 'God whispers in our pleasures, but shouts in our pain'.
