Does the body mean only to cause us pain? Philosophically, Why do we have nerves for our teeth?

Question

The painful knowledge, of a tooth ache, does little good and it seems as if biologically we are being punished. Does the body mean only to cause us pain? Are we meant to existence in pain?

Answer 1

Okay, you need a brain check.

Pain exists to protect the body.  If you put a hand on a hot stove, the pain will cause you to remove your hand.  Otherwise, if you don't feel pain, then you will burn without your knowledge!

There is a medical condition where a person is born without pain receptors.  Usually, the baby dies before she is 3 years old.  Because, her body cannot signal the baby of dangers.  The baby I saw on the medical journal, gauged her eyes out with her fingers because her body did not register the pain that would normally have stopped her from doing it.  A toothache exists to signal the body that the tooth is damaged so that you won't use it to bite a piece of candy and cause the tooth to break or do something worse.

Okay, next time, use your brain a little better.

Answer 2

Pain is a defence system for all animals. It is there to warn us about damage so we can deal with the cause. Ignore at your pearl.
