Flinch: v. to tense the muscles in anticipation of discomfort and/or pain

Uncomfortable: adj. sensing very mild pain and/or anxiety and/or stress
If you sense very mild pain and are anxious then you are uncomfortable. If you experience very mild anxiety and stress then you are uncomfortable. You can also have all three- very mild pain and anxiety and stress then you are uncomfortable. If you just have very mild pain or anxiety or stress then you are uncomfortable.
As you can see there are many ways of being uncomfortable and you usually have to ask humans which uncomfortable feelings they are having to pinpoint it with greater accuracy and avoid confusion and/or misunderstandings. Why are you uncomfortable? or What are you uncomfortable about?

Exaction: n. willfully and forcibly stealing property where pain and suffering is first inflicted on the victim
If a bully or criminal first commits violent actions against you and then asks for money and/or property then this is called exaction. Extortion is threatening force if property is not given so both exaction and extortion are subsets of stealing and it is only two unique ways of stealing where force is the dominant variable.

Groan: v. to make a low frequency inarticulate sound expressive of (pain and/or grief) and/or (disappointment and/or undesired (commands and/or requests))
Sometimes an articulate “owe!” is superimposed on a groan because of pain and an articulate “oh!”, “oh no!”, or “oh my!” is superimposed on a groan signaling large disappointment or grief. Offspring will sometimes groan when asked to do something unpleasant or when commanded to do something which they don’t want to do right away.

Pain: n. a bad intense mental sensation which originates from an injured body subset(s) and the behaviors which exist with it
Physical pain is obvious but many humans speak of mental pain which is really a form of mental suffering or distress rather than actual physical pain itself.
Chronic physical pain is perhaps one of the worst fates which one has to live with and even though this is a large problem in old age for many, some accident victims also have to live with lifelong pain.
The unfortunate thing is that humans tend to self medicate with pain killing pills and don’t correct the source of the pain which is the proper approach to curing pain related ills. Pain is your body telling you that you are mistreating it.
Bad posture, mental stress, back breaking physical work, accidents, stomach pain, absence of exercise, dental work, etc. are all sources of pain and most resort to pain killers to get instant but not permanent relief.
“Pain in the butt” and “pain in the neck” are really slang expressions indicating mental suffering and the corresponding behavior distress and not actual physical pain.

Relief: n. reducing and/or eliminating (pain and/or misery) and/or (discomfort and/or anxiety) and/or (need and/or fear) and/or (tediousness and/or a usually bad emotional subset(s))
Most of us don’t want relief from happiness, enjoyment, excitement, love, and good feelings in general but most of us want relief from pain, misery, discomfort, anxiety, fear, and bad feelings in general.
Relief reduces or completely eliminates the bad emotions or feelings for a little duration and sometimes for a long duration and permits the good feelings and emotions to take over for duration.
Sometimes other humans have the power to relieve bad emotions and feelings with a few kind words or words of optimistic encouragement. Most of the time it is our responsibility to deal with pain and emotional discomfort ourselves and try to make sure that it doesn’t happen again by modifying our behavior in the future so that the bad feelings don’t return.
The secret to relieving bad emotions is much selfcontrol and a conscientious effort to do things differently the next time. Changing frame of mind and behavior increases the probability that the bad emotions won’t resurface as they will if you do nothing to change them or don’t alter your behavior so that bad feelings don’t resurface again.

Writhe: v. to move with (twisting and/or squirming) and/or contorting frequently feeling pain simultaneously
Writhing in pain is a terrifying experience to be in or to witness. If someone is twisting, squirming, and contorting then they are probably suffering greatly also.
Some exceptions to feeling pain while writhing is an acrobat or performer and a snake which can also twist, squirm, and contort while feeling little or no pain.
With this definition you can say that he was writhing after the accident without having to say that he was writhing in pain after the accident.
If you twist with pain or squirm with pain or contort with pain then you can be said to be writhing and if you do all three then you are probably in great pain.
Writhing without pain is the exception to the general rule.

Stoicism: n. enduring pain and suffering and hardship without complaining and showing minimal emotion
When there is hardship, suffering, and even pain most of us get emotionally upset and feel that we have a right to complain about it. If you minimally complain and don’t get emotionally upset then you are said to have a stoical attitude or you are a stoic.
“Be a man and roll with the punches” is historically a call to male stoicism or putting up with much crap without complaining or getting overly emotional about it.

Pleasantness: n. relatively low intensity (good and/or righta) and/or satisfying sensation without mental and/or physical pain
Some masochists enjoy pain but most humans associate pleasant sensations with something good, right, or satisfying happening to them without mental and/or physical pain.
A nice day is usually a pleasant day and pleasantness can usually be thought of as a low intensity pleasure.

Torture: n. inflicting severe pain and/or discomfort on a lifeform(s)
Torture can extract the truth or lies or nothing at all or it can extract a combination of truth and lies. What part of the extraction is the truth and what part lies is unknown to the interrogator. Yes, torture can make you admit to being guilty of the most henous crimes but whether those admissions are truthful is still an unanswerable question.
Hopefully the tortured will reveal some truth along with lies and if you check out all the possibilities then you may be able to separate fact from fiction. The truthful facts can potentially be used to avoid terrorist plots or connect the tortured victim to some if not all of his or her compatriots or coconspiritors.
I am not an advocate of torturing with cruel and unusual punishment but I can possibly justify it in extreme emergency situations where many innocent lives may be at stake due to a nuclear bomb which will go off in 24 hours. If the source of the info is a human or humans with an outstanding reputation for honesty and there is a high probability that they are probably right that they know the human who knows the location of the nuclear bomb then I may arrest the alleged perpetrator with terrorist connections and possibly use torture to extract the location information if they don’t reveal it voluntarily.
Realistically this is a nightmare scenario and I don’t believe in torturing humans to find out where they planted a conventional bomb to go off. I would follow the alleged perpetrator and prosecute them only after the bomb actually went off and caused death and found strong physical evidence to support the accusation. Humans can be set up or framed for crimes they never committed so if the human has an impeccable reputation mere hearsay is not enough to arrest them.

Suffer: v. to experience relatively intense body pain and/or relatively intense mental displeasure
Few of us suffer intense body pain unless we have been in an accident or are approaching old age with stomach pain, severe back pain or joint pain. Pain killers are big business and many choose to use them rather than try and cure the cause of the pain which sometimes is incurable.
Many do suffer more mental displeasure and that may be suffering because of severely troubled offspring, failed relationships, living in an abusive marriage, death of a loved one, a terrible job, poverty, handicapping debt, devastating addictions, fear, or suffer from mental illness.
If other humans are the cause of your suffering then you can try escaping or ignoring them. If you are the cause of the suffering then escape is not an option and you will have to do your best to change your behavior or your circumstances.
Fortunately many of us may be unhappy but not necessarily suffering or experiencing intense physical and/or mental pain.

Misery: n. sensing intense unpleasantness and enduring a very bad circumstance(s) and/or enduring a very bad mental subset(s) and/or experiencing enduring intense pain(s)
There is the misery of overwhelming debt, the misery of grinding poverty, the misery of being in a shelter after a hurricane disaster, and the misery of suffering with chronic pain. Enduring long duration discomfort or very bad circumstances can cause much misery in a human’s life.
If you are impoverished and uneducated in some third world countries then your misery may be permanent but for most of us in western society if you are miserable then chances are you can do something about it on your own or with the help of good friends, relatives, or competent therapists of which there are very few.
Misery loves company and if you are associating with other miserable humans then you may never get out of your miserable circumstances. Read inspiring articles or learn new skills and knowledge which will improve your life in the long duration. Volunteer, join clubs, or surf the internet for new or better friends and improve your social life if you have none or have a bad social life.
Misery can ruin your mental and even physical health in the long duration so try not to remain miserable for very long and use self-discipline and a little imagination to get out of your bad circumstances.
If you are in chronic pain and eating organic and moderate exercise does not solve the problem then you may have to live with your misery and take pain killing medicine for the rest of your life. To motivate you remember that if you feel miserable there are probably millions of more miserable humans than you still surviving and trying to live from one day to the next.
If you don’t believe that there are more miserable humans than you then just think of the blind, deaf, dumb, or incarcerated for life who are surviving on a day to day basis and still surviving. If you still have your health then you really have no excuse for being miserable!!!!!! Lose your self-pity and live on happily.

Sadism: n. habitually getting pleasure from causing pain and/or suffering and/or humiliation on others
Some humans abuse their spouses and offspring and can be called sadists who get pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering, and humiliation on others.
Historically some prison officials were sadists who took pleasure in torturing the inmates and in some tyrannical governments opponents are sometimes tortured when imprisoned by sadist types.
Cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden in the constitution and it is just a testimony to the fact that sadism lies hidden under a veneer of civilized behavior which can resurface relatively easily if our guard is off.
In a democracy where tyrannical behavior is not easily tolerated sadism has fewer places to hide and sadistic bosses are frequently removed from positions of power. Even so there are some bosses who take pleasure in humiliating their workers and make them suffer with their verbal abuse.
As long as some humans engage in violent physical and/or abusive verbal behavior to try and dominate others sadism will continue to exist.

Masochism: n. a love of selfinjury and/or punishment
Masochism is frequently associated with sexual pleasure and for some rare individuals pain and sex are a desirable combination where one form is being whipped or paddled during the sexual act.
In general masochism is someone who finds pleasure in having pain inflicted but it is also sometimes coupled with mental illness where slashing of the wrists is sometimes done in an attempt to commit suicide or less lethal forms of self-destruction are done.
Masochists are considered crazy or mentally ill by many who just can’t understand that someone can actually get pleasure from pain.
There are also masochists who get pleasure from being punished in some way. Whether an abusive childhood is a cause is questionable but the fact remains that being grounded, spanked, or being denied a privilege actually causes exciting pleasure for rare individuals.

Comfort: v. to sense mild pleasure without stress and/or anxiety and/or pain
When we are without stress, anxiety, and pain most of us feel comfortable although some may want to add having creature comforts like a nice bed, nice meal, comforting music, a house with appliances as also being necessary to feel comfortable in ones surroundings.
Most of us enjoy a comfortable feeling but others thrive on activity and stress and don’t enjoy comfort as much as most of us. Those who don’t like comfort may in fact feel guilty or uneasy if they are not constantly engaged in some kind of activity and they are frequently hyperactive personalities.
For those of us with much stress in our lives, much anxiety, and even pain it is a smart thing to try and relax for at least an hour or two before bedtime in relative comfort and to get plenty of sleep to recharge our bodies with energy for the next day’s dose of activity. Resting in mental and physical comfort a little during the day with meditation or before bedtime is a good way to balance an otherwise hectic life.
Some of us enjoy a comfortable life so much that we are not willing to take on new responsibilities or experience new things which would improve our lives. Those who love comfort too much are usually not that ambitious and are frequently satisfied with a status quo existence.
It is generally true that lazy humans enjoy comfort more than the rest of us.

Historically capital punishment was frequently very cruel such as the breaking wheel, flaying, disembowelment, crucifixion, impalement, crushing, stoning, burning, dismemberment, sawing, etc. It was designed to create fear in the public so citizens would not commit serious capital crimes. Severe punishment was seen as a guaranteed deterrent against serious crime.
Historically you were punished for behaving badly or criminally with violence which was designed to create pain, suffering, or humiliation in the offender. Spare the rod and spoil the child was the accepted philosophy and practice by most parents.
Today cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden but there are still cruel humans who delight in causing pain, suffering, and humiliation in others. Concentration camps and genocide in some African countries which is relatively recent is proof that full blown human cruelty can surface at any moment if we are not vigilant against such atrocities.
A cruel boss may humiliate you by name calling using words such as stupid, crazy, fool, and incompetent. He can make you work many hours overtime without overtime pay and make you do unpleasant tasks such as cleaning the floors, windows, taking out the garbage, and mowing the lawn. Suffering by working very long hours and being humiliated may not be very painful but it can be psychologically devastating and cause much mental stress.
Cruel physically abusive spouses may physically abuse even their offspring and humiliate with profanities and name calling. Most choose not to live with cruelty and wind up eventually divorcing.
Sometimes pets are abused mostly through neglect or not feeding them and this is considered cruel behavior. Some pets are even beaten physically and are traumatized for life and no longer make nice loving pets for new owners. Many substandard zoos can also be considered cruel and unusual punishment for wildlife.
Human offspring are programmed genetically with the potential to be violent, aggressive predators and are basically vengeful creatures with an eye for an eye tendencies. Human society is constantly struggling to eliminate as much of this cruel behavior as possible but our prisons are still places with an abundance of cruel humans who even enjoy causing pain, suffering, and humiliation.
Cruelty: n. willfully causing pain and/or suffering and/or humiliation in an animal(s) and/or seeing the pain and/or suffering and/or humiliation of an animal(s) and sensing pleasure

Life is never black or white, yes or no in all cases and the same applies to euthanasia. I offer the case of my 99 year old dad as an example where euthanasia would have been a more dignified way of dying.
At 99 my dad had severe bleeding and breakdown in kidney function with a dark brown urine and catheter usage, had severe chest pains, and was so weak that he needed assistance in walking but was otherwise mentally alert and able to communicate. We probably could have prolonged his life with kidney dialysis and pain killers and he may have lived one or more years basically vegetating in a hospital bed.
Instead my dad courageously decided to end his life by not eating or drinking water under hospice care and effectively committed suicide. It took about two weeks to end his life under heavy morphine doses and occasionally spraying some water in the mouth because it was drying out. During the two weeks he had severe constipation and had forced painful removal of stool from his rectum. He was still living in his home and we visited him on a daily basis giving him his morphine dose orally.
Had I been in his position I would have asked to be euthanized and die peacefully in my sleep and not have to go through the mental and painful anguish of killing myself the natural way by not eating or drinking.
Does this case argue for euthanasia or should he have had kidney dialysis and painkillers administered in a hospital setting for one or two or maybe even more years at taxpayer’s expense?
My dad’s quality of life was so bad that he chose to die instead of living like a vegetable, in a hospital bed, and with the use of severe pain killers.
