PAINED EXPRESSIONS

We have a puritanical approach to pain control.  A readily available natural substance is deemed unacceptable because it induces euphoria.  On the other hand, running 5 or 10 miles to achieve the same state of mind is lauded.  Giddiness is acceptable only if you work hard for it.

Here we stand, afraid to deploy a pain reliever for fear it might drive people to listen to Pink Floyd.
