When two painful stimuli act on us at the same time, we perceive one of them as less painful. This phenomenon is part of the body's own pain control system. A dysfunction of this inhibition is associated with chronic pain disorders. (1)

Don't cry.

Would there ever be pain without your need to laugh?

Look around you.

Stop laughing.

Would you ever do so without ever being in pain?

Listen to the world instead.

("Your pain is what makes me Be")

For the cosmos itself is in constant pain.

And all it needs is you, to guide him with a smile or two...

Beyond pain...

To where only the need for pain is true...
