Without details on uniqueness and singularity in each one of us… There are different ways for the pain to be transmitted to the brain, eg. Pain caused by heat is transmitted to the brain by a different pathway than pain caused by crush. So there are many pathways and different form of pain to be trasnmitted to the brain and consciousness. So depending on wich one is giving the information it can be good or it can be bad.
