Why does pain hurt?
In: 0
pain evolved as a way for our bodies to tell us that something is wrong and that we need to look after it.
It’s a sensation, that through evolution, classical conditioning and watching others in pain, we know its bad and that we need to do something about it. if I got stabbed in the leg and didn’t feel pain i would be at a lot lower chance of wanting to fix it.
edit: or if I had a broken rib for example, If i didn’t have pain and didn’t know ha tit was broken, i would maybe continue doing whatever i was doing that broke it in the first place and continue breaking ribs.
