Obviously pain (even severe pain) is essential to human survival. But why would the body generate a degree of pain that essentially cripples the individual, leaving them basically helpless? How is this beneficial?
In: Biology
The body is constructed to be self-sufficient and maintain itself in complex ways, but everything is just a reaction of cause and effect. The pain response is just a reaction towards damage. The greater the damage the greater response, even if it means overloading your nerves and crippling you. The body isn’t *consciously* trying to make you, the person, comfortable or live longer. It just reacts to outside influences because it has evolved to do so.
