i am a weakling. many times i will need two hands in order to pump petrol into my vehicle. it is very humiliating. it is very distressing. i wish that you could just press a button to release the petrol. i highly doubt this will ever implement.

on the issue of pain, i find that if you focus on your pain and start to think about it, you cease to think of it as negative and so it doesn't hurt so much. so i wonder how much of pain is merely mentally enduced?

If the pleasure remains, does it remain a pleasure?

(Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves)

Is the reverse true? If the pain remains, does it remain a pain?

Everything you have ever seen, heard, felt, thought, etc... Is just loose electrons bouncing around in your brain. Every one of you is nothing more than a long complicated chemical reaction.
