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.
