What is pain and suffering is
often say, "I hurt that person did ...."
We actually have to make a distinction between what is pain and what is to suffer.
Pain is basically biological, therefore, is objective, something happens as a fall and feel physical pain and this is in the field of biology.
Suffering is subjective, and is according to what we deem to be, and if not, we cause suffering of any kind, some will feel stronger, others feel less, but the suffering will be present in all forms and can certainly impact on our body, in fact it does, so you can get organic, but it is not per se.
And this brings me memories of a couple of thoughts of Epictetus, whose wisdom said
"No what has happened is what annoys a man as the same may not bother another. It is his opinion about what happened "
and another thought to which I refer, says:
" Do not forget that it is not the man you hit that degrades or insults you, but your own opinion that this man will insults. Therefore, when someone annoys you, be sure that is your own opinion which has irritated you. And commit to not giving in to external impressions, because once you earn your reaction time and procrastinate, you can more easily become the master of yourself "
