ABSTRACT

Pain hurts, be it physical or mental (non-physical). None of us escape it but how many of us have given a thought to which pain is more severe the physical or non-physical. Just consider the famous lines by C.S. Lewis -” Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also harder to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden; it is easier to say, “My tooth is aching” than to say, “My heart is broken”. These lines speak volumes about the emotional pain’s intensity over the physical pain.  In this paper, we shall be delving deep into facets of pain both physical as well as non-physical and shall understand their meanings, their comparative imprints on the affected person, the brain processes underlying both types of pain, and ways and means of treating both pains. Also, we shall examine whether the end results of pain are always negative or sometimes the pain leaves a “spark” which proves to be a great positive game-changer.
