Ben:
You write, among other things that you thought that being able to get rid
of the pain would allow you to live a pretty happy life and that "pain is
good..."
I agree with the spirit of your comments and would like to add three points:
1. Pain is pain: an experience.
2. It is trying to *get rid of* the pain that is problematic.
3. Just as trying to get rid of pain is problematic, so too is trying to
*hold on to* pleasure.
Thanks for your comments.
