Hi back at you @sunnyflower, I guess you know how to let 'em have it. Duly noted and will offer this in my defense.... re: the use of discomfort. I thought about that and reviewed some of my posts.
Discomfort for me is more descriptive of the mental anguish we experience than the physical which we refer to as pain. Discomfort is an irritation, an inconvenience, an annoyance, and a bother.
So I frequently use both descriptors together e.g. "pain and discomfort." Hope that works for you and the crew.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Hey Chris, good to hear from you. I get it what you're saying but it's more the person who is not Afflicted and does not suffer pain that I was referring to.
I find the degrees of pain interesting. I think mental and physical pain can be extremely severe and have you fighting for your sanity.
As I said in a recent reply, I'm very deliberate about not judging or projecting. So I hope you did not feel that I was referring to anything you have said in the past. For one thing, my memory sucks so bad that I probably wouldn't have remembered it had I read that you said it meaning the word discomfort. So no worries! And if I ever do mess up please call me out on it okay? Because it was not intentional and no harm ever, ever meant!
Good to hear from you, Sunny
