If a person was forced to slightly injure themselves with a blade or a rock, they would of course be reluctant to do so for fear of pain. I don't support the idea that children should be taught to ignore pain but I’m wondering, if a child from birth was raised up with the mindset of “Pain, unless it is permanent is not a bad thing. It is merely the nerves in your skin informing you of a disturbance, and it will not effect you because it will heal and it is only other peoples mind that makes them fear pain.” Would the person that grew up under this principle be less reluctant to cut or scratch themselves if the need came. Would they be less intimidated of people that would possibly harm them? And would they be less afraid of monsters and horror films because of their lessened fear of pain.
