Different people seem to be able to support different amounts of pain. Some people cla
im that, in general, women can stand more pain than men because of the needs of childbirth. Apart from childbirth, what causes such differences？ And can we learn how to change our pain thresholds (临界阈)？
When I was young, my mother brought me up to be very careful to avoid hurting myself, and perhaps as a result, I was very afraid of pain. I had very bad teeth, so I had to go to the dentist twice a year and had a lot of fillings (补牙)done. In those days nothing much could be done about the pain, and I used to fear those appointments for weeks ahead.
But then, during my time in the army, I became an officer, and in the desert I got what was called a desert sore (沙漠疮)on one of my hands. I went to the army doctor. Doctors did not yet know how to cure desert sores in those days, so no sooner had the doctor looked at mine than he took out a pair of sharp scissors and put them in methylated spirit (甲基化酒精)to clean them.
As he came towards me with those sharp scissors, several thoughts went through my head at great speed: "Even though I'm afraid of pain, I'm an officer now, so I know what to do.If I want to lead people into battle, I must be brave myself, so let's get it over!" The doctor started to cut the desert sore off my hand, and to my astonishment it was nothing like as painful as I had expected, although one's hands are one of the most sensitive parts of one's body.
After that victory over myself, I decided that the amount of pain one could bear depended largely on one's attitude of mind, and I have proved it to myself many times since then. I was very pleased when, many years later, I read medical reports confirming my idea.
