The more important questions are: Why is something perceived as painful or pleasurable in the first place? What is the role of conscious choice? |
I see the pain/pleasure model as analogous to the darkworking/lightworking concepts. Darkworkers are primarily focused on avoiding pain, and lightworkers are primarily focused on creating pleasure (joy etc).
