I didnt read the article and i dont think I want to.
I think it would be more fair to say Its just human nature to want to avoid pain.
Perceptions of pain can vary and an objective standard is important.
My daughter thinks its pain ful to do the dishes.
I think so sometimes too. But as an adult, Ive acclimated myself to the notion that life is not pain free.
I think my daughter may be ADD. When shes a little older and manafestations of that pain (the pain of "dysfunction") surface, of course it would be inhuman and cruel for me to then say, life is painful, deal with it.
Young people lack guidance and need it desperately. Life without it can be hell, and they are too young to know why. They just react in a very human way, kill the pain.

> Thanks for the info. I don't doubt the addition problem. I graduated HS in 74 and grew up in the pill popping, dope smoking crowd. I have 15 & 19 yr old sons. I keep my medications under tight control and would NEVER give them out to anyone. I have a lot of pain meds too but I don't like to take them (except the Ibuprofen) because I am scared of the potential addiction. But some days I just can't make it through without the meds. I mostly depend on my epidural and trigger point injection at the pain clinic and try my best to stay pill free. It's a scary thing and it's a shame, I guess it's human nature to want to get "stoned"????????
