Swearing Reduces Pain? Agree/Disagree??

hmmmm. is "its going to be okay, honey. I promise" statement one of that??

 

It just comes out :X
Once you start swearing, you dont seem to stop.
I only rarely use 'sht' when i fall over or have difficulty explaining certain things
or when im really pissed hur >:U

 

We like to forget that we are animals. we still have a set of instincts that we inheritated from previous times. One of those instincts is that, when we are hurt or in pain we must run or avoid the pain.

Now due to our "intelligence" not as a individual quality, but as characteristic of our own actual nature. we can override those instincts and keep our hands in cold water or in the fire, or just (in case of women) willingly endure the pain of giving birth.

But the pain still thunders our brain, still wants to make us to run away... so you force yourself to endure. Swearing has the same effect that hitting the floor with your foot repeteadly and clinching the teeths. You still feel the pain, but are making your brain to pay attention to something else, thus making the pain taking a background seat in your mind, and it becames more bereable... its just a trick to ourselves, to bypass our instincts.

 

Well I do enjoy the sound of the F word, especially when you hit your small toe against the corner of the door, swearing helps in these cases. But I'm a poetic swearer.
