Why can’t we control out own sensations ? Why is our brain not able to just turn off the feeling of pain for the moment ? “I got it, something is bad, now stop hurting !” Or to just fall asleep whenever we want to.
In: Biology
Pain is a much more basic thing than thinking. Being able to experience pain stops us from making things worse, even if we can not think. That goes for animals, and babies, and anything else.
Thinking is much more advanced and is not related in any way to those older systems, such as pain. They are not connected. So you can’t control them by thinking.
