When I was reading Albert Cohen, who said: "Having the pain is live, it is to be is yet to be . "numberless came back to me often these cries of pain I hear every day from people frightened by the terrified feeling ineffable ache somewhere in their body and just waiting to be freed. Pain The Cause is the visit to the médecin.Ce "It hurts" everyone said at least once in his life (and because we can begin to feel the pain from the 6th month of intrauterine life. ), is a cry of alarm that often leaves doubt as to the place where he was born, body or soul, the two are intertwined and there mêlent.Pourquoi? how? trying to understand.
Pain What is it?
the Latin dolor , "Pain is a sensory and emotional experience unpleasant linked to tissue injury or potential , or described in terms of such damage. Pain is always subjective. Each individual learns through experiences caused by injuries early in life. This is clearly a sensation in one (or more) part (s) of the body but is also unpleasant and therefore personal experience . "(1)
This means that the pain can be assocoiée or not a nociceptive element that is causing this douleur.En Indeed, the nociception (from the Latin nocere, to harm) is a purely physiological phenomenon. The occurrence of tissue injury stimulates nociceptors localized in the skin and other body tissues. The information is then conveyed in the form of an electrical pulse through specialized fibers of peripheral nerves to the central nervous system. The noxious stimulus must reach a minimum threshold to cause pain (This threshold is lowered during the inflammatory reaction that accompanies any tissue damage). (2)
Having seen the pain sensation, as it is often difficult to describe felt the pain of this phenomenon, to give a precise definition and explain its cause. In fact, expression of the experience of pain is closely related to the design of the painful fact. Now it has evolved throughout history and remains strongly influenced by the cultural environment of the individual.
God why I hurt?
Pain is not considered or taken into account in the same way across cultures. Each nation has its own conception of pain. This concept applies to both care recipients as caregivers values. Indeed, it is not only patients who integrate their pain in their worldview, but also doctors and nurses who project their values, and often their prejudices about the experiences of patients under their care. . The religions are also sources of values, and thus to interpretation of others' pain . Let's look is based on their differences:
- In the Bible, the pain is associated with divine punishment when non-compliance with laws dictated by God: "The stories of the Bible often combine prosperity and health to the fidelity of men to God's commandments. Misery, suffering, pain hit any violation of law. . But the interpretation by the Catholic religion is different: "The Christian tradition, however, treats pain original sin, it is an irreversible trend of the human condition. (...) Acceptance of pain is a possible form of devotion that approximates God, purifies the soul. It was long considered, especially in antiquity and the Middle Ages, as a special grace. (...) The death of Jesus on the cross is essentially a mystery of suffering, a story of redemption by a single infinite pain to clean absorb the infinite human sin . Long for the Christian suffering is participation in a minor sufferings of Christ ... copies. This conception of pain is recurrent in this culture, which explains that in Western societies, primarily Judeo-Christian, the pain is underestimated see completely obscured.
- In Islam: "The Muslim is facing less than the Christian or the paradox of Jewish suffering just as if the latter God is love, the first is especially absolute power. The faithful will return with patience in the hands of God and shows his stamina to the test . (...) The pain is not the sanction of a fault, it is predestined , inscribed in man long before his birth. (...) But if God created the pain he has also given man the means to fight it with medicine and prayer. . This means that Muslims have never refused to relieve pain, they are even more often seeking care than Jews or Christians because medicine is a science has been known for many centuries. Furthermore, religion does not interfere with the management of pain.
- As for Eastern spirituality : "The body is pain, because it is the location of pain. . "Human misery is not the fact of punishment from the gods, but the only men ignorance. The release is the revelation by which all suffering vanishes. . With regard to the polytheistic religions, such as Buddhism or Hinduism for example, religion allows men to be free of pain by spirituality.
- Pain has meaning even for atheists individuals "Pain is a figure of evil incisor . Constant reminder of the moral frailty of man. (...) The idea of disease-deserved punishment of suffering from the reprobate conduct of an individual is still deeply ingrained in contemporary consciousness. . Even among non-religious people, pain is considered the punishment of negligence .
other hand, crops are also sources of values and beliefs. Here's an example that illustrates very well the differences between cultures regarding the meaning we give to pain: "One anthropologist said that in society he is studying, knowing that a woman has a first aid kit brings in her children she says he has a slight "bobo" to the foot, the mother as the child does not seem to consider with the injury severity. When the anthropologist detaches dressing in a banana leaf child, he discovered with amazement that one sees the bones of a child whose foot looks like, in the words of the anthropologist to "a gelatinous mass." In this society, it is called another time at the bedside of a girl suffering from constipation. The latter case, of a less serious in the eyes of the anthropologist is considered very serious by the members of this society of south-western Tanzania, as constipation may be due to malicious action, such as that of a sorcerer. .
