What Is Pain?

i think it's a good way to approach this to re imagine pain not as a sensory input in itself, but actually as an experience. And so here's the analogy i would use. It's much the same way that vision is not an input from the eyes, but an experience the environmental input for vision would be light. But then this input is conducted through pain fibres and brought to the brain, and is one of a number of contributors to the subjective mental experience of pain. So than think about, you know, the different parts of pain that you can sometimes even sense yourself,. like the physical sensation of pain versus the emotional component of pain.
